I agree, personally I would rather not risk it. Unless IRCC explicitly says it's okay, I will stop working when my date reaches if I have no decision yet.

I think making decisions based on immigration norms & reality instead of ignoring it because it was overlooked for someone else on this forum, is a safer bet. As in, someone from Europe doesn't get the same consideration as someone from Africa, it's just the way it is. So we ought to make decisions knowing that there is no guarantee that you will be treated the same as someone else with a similar profile.

Knowing that others mistakes were overlooked is good, to keep you hopeful and figure out a way forward, but don't deliberately ignore what is written by IRCC.

So your work will let you leave and come back? How is that possible?

You can't apply for PGWP until you officially graduate and receive your transcript and graduation letter from the school.
Do you have a valid TRV?

Try to contact your local MP office, from what I've heard, they have the ability to look into immigration cases, and have a direct line to IRCC.

I've accumulated some vacation days so far, but even if I didn't, I would just give them notice that I still have not received a decision from IRCC (like 2 weeks in advance) and if that hasn't changed by the time the date reaches, I will need to take time off or stop working for while until I receive a decision. Ultimately, IRCC trumps employer sentiment, so whether they are okay with it or not is irrelevant. Just like me, they are powerless over IRCC delays or choices.

If they have been working full time since, say July 1st, they would get at least 1 week paid vacation by the end of the year according to federal law. The things is I doubt employer would let their staff keep their jobs without knowing when will they actually get the permit. Lol
