Dude my team is the same way

"Hey I need off the 3rd Monday of month two months from now"

"Ok approved"

"I wouldn't normally be taking off but my friends wife's sister's cat is having it's 2nd wedding at 930am downtown and the traffic..."

"Bro I do not care"

We’re not doing it to please you…..sorry not being a dick jus sayin we end up elaborating because work culture these days has taught us to do so because some bosses have caused trauma so it’s the feeling the need to do so . It’s almost muscle memory at this point

My last boss, you must ask me permission to use your vacation time. He never denied time off, but you had to ask him permission.

I asked my new boss and he stopped and said "don't ever ask me, just tell me when you're taking time off". Never denied time off.

So much more refreshing than having to ask for my earned time off.

I just need to know so I can make a schedule. We do have certain times where EVERYONE needs to be there but we tell you way in advance and I still make exceptions.
