Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough

Other reason

They both basically mean the same thing, the only difference would be that "I'm leaving" means they're literally leaving the location while "I'm getting off" can mean "I'm just stopping work". It's really nuanced, they're usually interchangeable.

"I'm getting off work right now" means your shift has ended. You may leave immediately or wait around for a while. "I'm leaving work right now" means you are leaving right now. Your shift may not be over yet. It could have just ended. Or it could have ended a while ago, but you waited until now to leave.
