I asked for leave on WeChat but the boss didn’t reply. Do I still need to call to confirm?

After work, the three colleagues and friends started drinking at the barbecue stall. After three rounds of drinking, Brother Li and Brother Wang started to quarrel over the leadership's approval for leave.

It turns out that Brother Li had something to do at home a few days ago and needed to take leave. He sent a WeChat request for leave to the leader, but the leader didn’t reply. He felt that the leader’s failure to reply was equivalent to consent, so he went home to do things; it happened that Brother Wang I also needed to ask for leave the next day, so I followed Brother Li's example and sent a WeChat message, but the boss also didn't reply. Following Brother Li's example, he went home to do things. Unexpectedly, after they returned to the company, the leader severely criticized Brother Wang and made it clear that they could not ask for leave via WeChat.

Brother Li said that Brother Wang must have offended the leader somewhere, but Brother Wang said that Brother Li must have benefited the leader. The two of them had a heated argument and turned to me and asked me, how would I handle this situation? ?

I said that I would not guess what the leader really meant. I would not hesitate to call the leader to ask for leave. I would not be sure that the leader would approve my leave until the leader confirmed my request for leave. There are three reasons.

To give a simple example, you send a WeChat message to the goddess you love: "Would you be my girlfriend?" Unfortunately, the goddess did not reply.

If according to the logic of not replying, then does the goddess agree to be your girlfriend? The actual situation is that you will be very sad. At this time, you will find an excuse for yourself. The boss must have missed the meeting or was busy with other things.

Let’s go back to the goddess’s reply. Even if the goddess sees it, she will not reply. She will only look at her with disdain and say: “You toad, you still want to eat swan meat?”

The psychology of leaders is exactly the same as that of goddesses, and their inner dynamics are as follows: Sample, I won’t reply to you to see if you dare not go to work.

You send a request for leave via WeChat and the boss doesn’t reply. You will guess whether the boss agrees or refuses. In fact, you are guessing based on your own knowledge. And you are not a master, so your guess may not be accurate.

According to my observation, leaders like to confront employees in order to show their authority.

Going back to the beginning of asking for leave from your boss, if you think that your boss has agreed to take leave without replying, your boss will criticize you when you come back to work: "You dare to leave without permission if I don't reply. "Fine"; if you think that the leader's failure to reply is considered rejection and you have not chosen to take a break, the leader will be very compassionate when he meets you and say: "I didn't reply because I was busy and didn't see it. You are an old employee. I believe in your consciousness." .

After hearing this, do you think the leader is too hypocritical? Should you choose to agree or reject?

After reading the above, the leader sometimes criticizes and sometimes be kind. Do you feel that there are two worlds of ice and fire? Are you becoming increasingly unclear about your leader’s true intentions? Here I suggest everyone: any work must be clearly confirmed by the leader before it can be implemented. Here we must exclude the leader who cannot do the main work, otherwise we will be suspected of forcing the uterus.

Clear confirmation includes the leader’s signature, voice, or the leader’s consistent style (this should be done well). If you are really unsure, it is best to confirm with the leader in person.

Back to the matter of asking for leave, many people who send WeChat messages instead of calling their leaders to ask for leave must be afraid that their leaders will refuse. But if asking for leave is a real and important matter, why can't they just talk to their leaders openly? Say what?

After all, asking for leave is also one of the rights of employees.
