Unlike other companies, the no-pay leave is voluntary, they are not forcing people to take leave(atleast till now). Also the amount of pay cut is replaced by RSU. I think Grab is doing good enough job to support workers and drivers and to support it's business.

P.S used to work for Grab till last week. Left because of personal reasons. Opinions are my own

Softbank backed OYO has done the same thing. While these kind of leaves are voluntary on paper, they are the only option offered. Formally company present this option to you, you show interest, you accept what they are offering.

Informally, the company asks you to accept whatever they are offering. You can always resist, you're very much likely to have the legal advantage. But you don't want to go through the trouble.

Edit - the only good part of the offer was 0 day notice period. They are betting on major chunk of employees to not come back, so they can bring back the one who are left (IMO 80% will leave)
