I need some help from you guys. I sent her the following E-mail on May 27...
"My days off that I requested for vacation in June have been granted. I'm gonna be off from Saturday June 20th thru Thursday July 2nd. I'd like to take our kids on a trip during that time."
I never heard anything from her. Then I put in for some more time off yesterday and sent her the following E-mail...
"I turned in a request today for some days off in July, and I believe they will be granted. I'm gonna be off from Wednesday July 22nd thru Wednesday July 29th. I'd like to take our kids on a trip during that time."
Then today, I get the following E-mail from her...
"You can not take off the end of the month. That's the ONLY time I can be off. I hope you rescheduled your June vacation. You should know my schedule by now and that we have month-end closing the first 1/2 of the month and I can not take off during that time. That's when you need to schedule yours. I plan on taking them some where the last week in June and the last week in July. Your lack of communication has once again caused a problem."
I can't change my June vacation time off. It's 2 weeks away, and I've already made reservations and they've already made the schedule out at work. I can still do something about the July vacation though! I need your help in responding to her E-mail in an appropriate manner. There hasn't been any 'bad' communication from her for a little while now.
Please help me come up with a good response!
