Vent Session: My manager gave me feedback that I didn’t give enough notice for taking a Friday off. I gave 5 weeks notice, and not on a Friday anywhere near a crunch time in the project. I log on today and got a note from her saying she is taking the next full week off on an impromptu vacation in Hawaii. Someone calm me down.

I never understand when people post stuff like this. Like you just gave more than enough info that if your manager is on this app (which they probably are), they are gonna know it’s you.

1. Reply back by email: Enjoy your time off! We have a pretty heavy load next week with deliverables, but don’t worry {Jen} and I will work late to make sure we stay on track. And will loop in partner for client meeting coverage as needed! 2. Forward to partner as FYI 3. Get teammate to schedule additional important client calls. Invite partner to all of them.

Did you ensure that you were constantly reminding her of the vacation? Also try to put it on their calendar if you hadn’t done so.

For one day? Seriously?

If your manager can’t plan 5 weeks in advance he is incompetent manager. Next time when you have an opportunity to give him a feedback, you bring it up. Our company has 360 deg feedbacks.. helps in such cases.

Unreal!!!

Don’t want to. This person is dysfunctional and feels status matters more than results and actual impact. Look for a new manager

Always give written notice. CYA. So you have always have backing to cover you up

I believe that all of these companies are hiring. Don't get mad get a raise 😊

Bail.

Did you have an OOO calendar note is the question.

Hold me back bro!
