Hi,
Please pardon my frank approach to this issue.
Firstly, please accept the fact that leave is a privilege but not a right. In any organization, just as there are set goals and targets, there are also set rules and procedures. If one aligns those procedures with our own convictions and not against them, there will rarely be an issue (unless you have a boss who enjoys power plays).
Secondly, no one is indispensable. You can either make yourself so valuable that the boss requests you to postpone your leave, or willingly accepts your request to prevent any friction affecting his planned targets for the company.
In any case, your query can be well addressed once you provide all the details.

Dear friends,
Nowadays, the attitude of bosses is such. I work in PSB and used to receive similar replies from our AGM or DGM. Visit the allbankingsolution website. The arrogant attitude of higher officers regarding leave, and their threats to work on holidays and Sundays, have become commonplace. It is not merely a misunderstanding between bosses and employees, as discussed in this forum. It is the high-handedness, arrogance, lack of care, or a mentality that employees are like slaves or cannot take any action against their bosses. Their approach aims to make us hesitant and think multiple times before applying for leave.
Furthermore, bosses pass down what they receive from their superiors. There is no clear leave policy in our office, as management often states that leave cannot be claimed as a right (as per service regulations). Our question is, is the rejection of leave within the rights of the boss/management? Is it necessary for the boss to inquire about the reason for leave? Members are encouraged to discuss the issues raised by me.
Kindly deliberate on the concerns presented.
Thank you.

Hi All,
I completely agree with Ashok's statement that leave is a privilege and not a right. However, I do not agree with the statement the so-called boss mentioned to the employee, if in case the statement was said in the same tone as we read it.
As we are aware, there will always be exigencies at the workplace where the dependency on the resource would be high. This may sound clichéd, but at the end of the day, it's the duty of all stakeholders to run the business.
I personally feel at this point in time, it's unfair to comment or analyze the situation as the clear particulars regarding leave, such as how many leaves were taken earlier and the reason for leave, are not being mentioned by the source.
Regarding the attitude of the bosses, it's always tricky to deal with the situation. Hence, my only suggestion would be to ensure you understand your boss and how he can be convinced (this is easier said than done) and use the methods to get things done. In the end, if nothing improves, then for clever and talented people, there are always other opportunities waiting. Nonetheless, always be thankful to your boss for teaching you "How things should not be dealt with when you are the boss."
