TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about leaving Thailand for a week while their work visa extension is under consideration with an immigration stamp. According to community responses, it is possible to obtain a re-entry permit after receiving the under consideration stamp, allowing for travel as long as the user returns within the validity of the stamp. Additionally, it's noted that the user may need to be present at the immigration office for an inspection before leaving, along with four Thai employees.

Under consideration for a work extension? Is that a thing?

There's no issue at all getting a re-entry permit after you get the under consideration stamp and then exiting/re-entering thailand

Remember that re-entry permit will only be valid for the under consideration period and you have to be back before that stamp runs out so you can go to the immigration office and get the extension inked in
