I'm on PTO for over a week. My job has many different programs. Boss says don't list me as your OOO contact. Big Boss told me two days ago to never ask for help. So I ran my OOO plan by Boss, listing about five different people who can help with specific programs while I'm out. They agreed, off I go.

Big boss gets my out of office notice and loses their mind because it's "unprofessional to list more than one contact." All of these contacts know the work, very efficient.

What do you think?

That's the way it should be. My manager actually said, "As your leader I can't be your back up, but I want to support you." Dude, I've been begging for help so it's not so catastrophic when I'm out.

Congrats

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?
