100% bring up with your manager, peacefully, in a 1:1. “I’ve been following XYZ steps for OOO and wanted to make sure that meets your expectation and our team’s protocol, bc I’ve been getting some pushback from members of the team. I always make sure there is coverage and I have an OOO package sent 2 days before I’m out. I want to set good examples for wlb and follow our process, but the team pushback is giving me some stress! Can you help us level set the protocol without pointing fingers at anyone in particular?”
Agree w the above poster, this should be a red alert to a seasoned manager. If my team ever offer to bite into their PTO I shut it down immediately, and if there’s a squeeze it’s my job to raise with clients and reprioritize work — not someone’s peer to give them sass.
Sounds like you’re doing everything right. I’m guessing they’re relatively junior…Account Sup? Director and above should be setting a better work/life balance example… even if optically (ie, shouldn’t make those comments). I’d actually mention this to your or their boss, because that’s a bad look for the Account team. Most GADs I know wouldn’t let that fly.
And yes, I actually had a short-lived manager who said something similar to me. I was really taken aback by the snide remark, but now that I’m more seasoned I know how petty and unbecoming of a VP-level it was.
Yes! I did all the time. The best part was when that same account person didn't know my leaving date and was surprised I wouldn't come in afterward that date.
Wow my creatives don’t even tell me when they’re taking days off so hey they should be grateful they’re even getting the heads up
