How Do Office Workers Talk With Their Boss On Vacation?

Perhaps the Oriental people are naturally shy. In the first few years of my work, I also have this problem. Every time I apply for a leave, I always feel guilty and feel that I have taken advantage of the unit. We do not take the vacation as a basic right of work, like a westerner, and take a strong vacation. Here we are going to talk about how to take the right vacation. The vacation here mainly refers to paid annual leave or leave, sick leave and so on, which are unexpected events. Let's not mention them for the time being.

First, let's talk about why people are guilty of vacations. Let's first consider from the boss's point of view. When you take a vacation, you go to relax, and the boss is worried.

- who will do your work?

- is there any substitute during the vacation?

- will it affect the progress of the work?

Can emergency contact you?

　　 1. Advance with the boss. Communicate Your vacation plan can be advanced much earlier in advance.

The more transparent this is, the more comfortable the boss is.

For example, when you plan to travel, when and when you have a few days off, you have the idea that you can have a chat with the first time. You don't have to be very formal, you can communicate in private chat, so that the boss can arrange work. Finally, your vacation schedule is confirmed, the ticket or train ticket is out, then the official leave application (the earlier the better) and the specific work arrangements during the vacation. I am afraid that the leader has made arrangements for work, and you suddenly asked for a vacation. If it's an emergency, let's talk about it.

At the end of 2011, due to changes in organizational structure, I position I was transferred to another department, my new boss is a middle-aged woman, very elegant, but I heard she did not like subordinates to ask for leave, also can understand, because she just took over the Department less than two years, many work is still rely on senior subordinates to deal with. In 2012, the home purchase decoration, the purchase contract was signed on Sunday, and I communicated with my boss on Monday, indicating that I bought a house, then needed to apply for loans, transfer, property transfer of water and electricity and so on, and only need to ask for leave during the working day, but I also promised to communicate with her in advance and arrange the work ahead of schedule. Later, they asked for four or five days' leave respectively. Later, after being acquainted with their colleagues, they were still saying that leaders did not like their subordinates to take a vacation. They often refused to give them. I think they should think about how to take better leave.

　 2. Work arrangement We must try our best.

The situation in our department is very special. Everyone is responsible for a job. Leaders are also responsible for a small part of the work, and the rest is management. The characteristic is that the work you are responsible for is not understood by other colleagues at all, and the relationship between authority does not necessarily help you to deal with it. So working arrangements for holidays are especially important. In general, I will arrange urgent but unimportant things to other colleagues during the holidays. The rest are important but not urgent. All of them will come back to me after my vacation. It's better to make a list of leaders.

During vacation, it is necessary to explain whether it will bring a computer, whether it is convenient to answer cell phones. But fortunately, I am in charge of this part of the work, very few urgent to need to contact me during the holidays, the foreign enterprise's best practice, as long as you take a vacation, basically will not receive any work phone, even if received will also apologize, but the probability is very, very low.

　 3, set up a mailbox before vacation.

Set up automatic reply. You should use mailboxes in your work. The most feared thing is sending an email to my colleague, without reply, without auto reply. I didn't see a reply every other day, and then I made a phone call before I knew that I had taken a vacation. Although it may not have been delayed, my impression of the colleague would be discounted. Now the outlook function is perfect. It can set up the effective period of automatic reply, so I will set up automatic reply when the application is finished. There must be a time limit for automatic reply. Once you have seen the deadline, you are not in the office now.

　 4, enjoy your vacation.

As I said before, my annual leave of ten days a year, I will have no rest every year. This year just passed 3 months ago. I have already taken 12 days' holiday. Don't be embarrassed. We should use holidays and travel. I can't take a computer home on my vacation. I didn't sell myself, I had paid vacation, and I still had to hurry up. Leaders who do not take vacations will also feel headache.

Then let everyone feel your happiness, take a vacation home, travel, bring some delicious food to leaders and colleagues, spend a little money, low-key and save character.
