[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two this week who are throwing fits b/c they both asked for the same week off (one for a wedding and the other for her son’s HS graduation). The former went and booked tickets even before asking for the time off. She announced to me today that she will shift her workload during that time to another employee, also without checking with me. I’ve told the two of them to work it out or I will make an executive decision neither will like. We are a small office and May will be very busy. I cannot have two employees out the same week. The fact that you bought tickets to travel before getting approved leave is not my problem. Ditto that your son’s graduation is also that week. [/quote]

You should be hiring GenX ers. We have a better work ethic[/quote]

Ah no. We are old now. See ageism thread. Really sucks that boomers would just never retire, never let us move up and never experienced ageism because they'd just yell at us to fix the doohickey email thing. And now the younger gens have cool factor, hip factor and are sought after.

Whatever. [/quote]

Luckily in my field it seems like the Boomer C-Suite folks have finally had enough and are moving on. It’s time.

As to the rest of the thread, boy am I glad to never have had to deal with this. It’s my responsibility to make sure my work gets done. Which means I can schedule my leave whenever I need it. And that’s how it should be [/quote]
