Made a wrong decision to logon to office e-mail earlier. 2 e-mails spoilt my night...
E-mail 1:
Hi Mei Ling,
Noticed you planned your leave for 26 - 30 Jan (26 - 27 - CNY); 26 - 27 Feb and 13 - 14 Mar.
I'm wondering if you could re-arrange your leave such that the leave would not be separated with 1 - 2 wks of work as it makes it very difficult for me to allocate referrals.
Alternatively, if you can't re-arrange it, I seek your understanding if I need to allocate cases even though you might be on leave in between. Of course, I'll try not to do so unless i have no other options.
Wa.....she was the one who told me I had to clear my leave quarterly leh! I had not intended to take leave after the 1st 2 days of CNY seriously, but since she said had to clear leave so I forcasted to take lor!
Feb I am going to Penang so that I am surely going to take the 2 days and then the weekend.
Mar is my birthday, I had wanted to take from 14th onwards but since that was the school holidays, many people had already taken or forcasted their leaves. She was also the one who laid down the rule of not more than 2 team members are allowed to go on leave for 4 days or more at any one time! And she was also the one who said must spare a thought for those who have children and family!
And surely, my absence of 1 to 2 days although with 2 weeks break in between is not such a big deal isn't it? It is not new that she would still give referrals anyway what...no matter how hard she said she tried not to...I am not trying to be cynical but it's true....I am on leave from 19th Dec onwards till 2nd Jan, and the few days before 19th I got a new referral, so that I die die had to squeeze in an interview on the few days before I went on leave. Not to mention that from Oct to Nov when I went off for 3 trips, the referrals came in nonetheless? Did I plan my Oct to Nov leave at the last minute? The answer is NO I DID NOT, yet everything still screwed up. So plan for what ar? And what is so new that she would continue to give referrals even when we are on leave? So why she even bothered to send out this mail to declare that she would still give referrals if she had no choice blah blah blah...???
No doubt we need to spare a thought for our colleagues, but we cannot just be taking leave just because we need to exhaust our leave!! I guess she wants me to clear my leave ONCE every quarter, which means 5 days every quarter. But if I am not going anywhere and there is no purpose in me taking leave, then I am not going to do so. Period.
And I am not going to reply her until I get back from leave on 2 Jan. Period.
E-mail 2:
Dear OA,
Thanks for planning your leave. I'm pleased to inform you that the leave plan is agreeable with me, so please proceed to take your leave accordingly, with me in cc. when you apply in pm2s. (for those who I sent a personal email, pls reply to that email)
I've locked the document. If you intend to make changes to the plan, pop by to talk.
I noticed that quite a number of you have not planned your leave for this quarter. Pls don't wait to Dec to take your leave as I might have to make the hard decision of not approving it if there are insufficient officers for our work to carry on withot disruptions.
I cannot believe that she even wants to dictate the way we take our leaves. Is this management? And when it had already proven that this method does not work?!
