Why did you ask permission? “I am attending a funeral on X/X. I will be out of pocket from x until x. Please let me know if you need me to arrange coverage. Thank you”
Did someone tell you that you need "permission" or to let them know in advance so that they can arrange coverage? If "permission" - LOL. Lateral.
That’s crazy. I never tell anyone what I’m doing on the weekends.
This is not normal. Please seriously considering lateraling.
Live freely. Stop being subservient to a system that will never care about you. Look out for yourself. Even people who’d pretend to care would care for themselves first -- whether out of choice or compulsion.
Listen. Lateral. Like yesterday.
To those of you suggesting lateraling: I’d love to. The issue is that I recently lateraled to this position (less than a year ago). I feel as though leaving could indeed brand me a flight risk at future firms.
Please stop this way of thinking. If youre looking to leave with just 1 year or less, everyone knows it was not a good fit. They just need to figure out whether the issue is you or the prior firm. You can definitely let them know that it is not you without being explicit about it.
Should not ask for permission - should just inform superiors after you're already traveling. Or if not even out of office, just go and don't tell anyone what you are doing on the weekends. Work does not need insight into everything going on in your life.
Is it PH?
