There could be reasons... one thing you might not have experienced is not having explicit management, and not even knowing who you /should/ inform. That happens from time to time.
This is possibly indicated by "bosses". Not having explicit line management sucks.
- VonGallifrey 9y agoThere is a really easy solution to the "no explicit management" problem: Just go to 1 boss and ask "When I want to take a vacation day, who do I talk to/what is the process for that?" Works best if that is early on after joining the company. Or just ask the same question to HR, they would guaranteed know what the process is.
- comstock 9y agoIt doesn't always work in my experience. The guy who signs off on vacations might be different than the guy managing day-to-day work. There might not be a clear vacation policy (as much as you like etc). Ask HR? I've worked at companies with 100 people who had no dedicated HR staff...
- ianai 9y agoIn my case, I had a supervisor magic-up a title promotion for himself based on seniority. He started telling everyone he was "the lead supervisor" including his peers. His peer, my direct supervisor, told me to escalate work/issues to the "lead supervisor" before our manager. When I did check with HR/higher management, they were flummoxed.
