My boss refuses to let me take leave. Is that allowed?

I’m a little sympathized with this assumed version of the boss. Probably without meaning, they have lost themselves in a commercial attempt, and most of us may have no way to return to a life that they like – that professional and personal are completely separate.

But I certainly do not sympathize with the decisions of putting this unhappy life into others. This seems to be exactly what they did to Maria. I mean, no, it’s a boss problem.

How does Maria overcome? It seems that there is no threat of resignation. Maria has been suddenly for a long time in this workplace to suddenly pull the logs and start again anywhere else.

In addition, even if Maria gathered the courage to demand time for this special situation, she convinced herself that she would be an empty exercise; No explanation from him will not convince the bosses that are stuck on the roads that they are guaranteed.

So let me suggest something that could come from the wall at the beginning: What if Maria doesn’t affect the change. What if you do it? What about you and maybe other members of your family boss petition?

You can do this with a harsh letter that emphasizes how unjust and cruel to seriously restricting how worried you are about his welfare for a job for a job.

However, you do not want to put Maria desperately in trouble, so it can be a better option to emphasize the positive: to summarize in a carefully expressed email (even in a letter of handwriting), how much the things that Maria can continue without continuing can make it possible to make it possible to be “office”.

This, of course, does not replace the boss’s cold, harsh reality control, and that this is not Dickensian England and the Worker is not only for the industrial grinder. But for now and for certain purposes, this can be enough.
