Year End Holiday

Couple of days left in 2011, everybody rushing to clear their Anual Leaves. Yes, I can understood that they are clearing their leave balance but the operation of the business still have to go. Unless you own a shop and closed the shop as you are going for a holiday.

Why I'm making those statement  as above because I experiencing the difficulties in doing my job as most of the office are left with just a couple of people manning it.

The best part is the people that are left behind cannot do anything or giving any solution as they are not have any authority. What they can say is "Have to wait until He or She coming back from the Holiday".  

What if they took a long holiday, 2 weeks, 3weeks? So everything will stop? The best part is I'm is working in a billion dollar corporation.

From my experience or even myself, if I'm going for holiday, I will make sure that my 2nd in command will be there and can make a urgent decision. If not everybody that are trying to deal with the restaurant and kitchen will having the face like MR. BEAN.

Why their manager approved their staff goes on leaves at once for the normal day just because they want to clear their Annual Leaves. These is the type of Boss that is quite stupid in my eyes. What to be a good boss in their staff eyes but do not thing about the operation as a hole.

My style is difference, I already announced it to all my staff that they need to plan their leave and I will only approve it if it will not disturb the kitchen operation. Sometimes as a Manager, you cannot please everybody and they need to know which is their priority as the MANAGER.
