08 Jan 15 - When you werent notified in advance of your holidays.
This post is a rant, yes, rant, as I missed one of my biggest opportunity in life to meet up with my sis due to an employee's secrecy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I mentioned that I plan to go touring in another country sometimes ago.
The plan was :
- To book for a ticket to a country where my sister is at.
- To organize my money for the trip.
- To tell my 'Mom' in advance.
- To inform my boss that I need a 1-2 week holiday.
- To finally plan for the airport, which route, this and that.
Now you know what's funny?
I was dead serious about the plan and I planned them about half a year in advance.
But there are 3 major things that really stopped me :
- First is my Mom (She's conservative.)
- Money (Traveling costs a lot as we all know.)
- My work (My boss's family opens the pharmacy 7 days per week, several days of holidays every year only.)
The first problem, was the biggest problem and definitely something I'm still troubled with.
The 2nd wasnt really a problem because everything's set, but I dont really feel like spending, that's all.
The 3rd, was another that big issue to me, as I've never taken leave from my work during my 1 and half year work. (Maybe half day or something, but I dont recall taking a full day off even when I'm coughing, sneezing or something.)
Now, just early this month, my boss mentioned something about holiday, and I gotta admit that I was excited, but I never know the details. I only found it out about a week before their holiday schedule was set.
Now to sum it all up, an employee refuses to reveal his employer's working schedule up, and this obviously is a bad result for his employer, as he only had several days in advance to plan.
Plane ticket, booking a hotel room, and asking my sis to fly to Asia isnt a simple task and need to be planned several months in advance (unless you're willing to pay full price), especially when she's busy with her work and stuff.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of us might not get it, but I didnt really want to reveal the details as well "kerena atasan saya membaca blog ini pun."
No use crying now, I guess I'll find something to do during my 4 days of holiday.
