Yesterday, we shared the story of Sergey and his hope to find a new job after his boss wouldnāt give him some extra time off. (To read the full situation, CLICK HERE to access yesterday's newsletter.) We asked our readers, 'What Would YOU Do?" - and got some EXCELLENT responses. Here's what they said:
I would keep the two things separate. Changing a job isnāt usually based on one point which doesnāt match someoneās own expectations. So start the ānew jobā process now. And offer a package to your new employer why he should give you three weeks off even you are on board for just a short time.
Or rethink what has to be done at your actual job to get a yes for the extra week (creating an event or making a deal is always aloud. Stay positive.).
There's something missing in the story, the work situation. In any case, 6 months ahead is a long way ahead and any current work load issues aren't relevant. Also, marriage leave is foreseen under law and additional to normal holidays. We're I him, I'd start looking for a new job immediately. He has the time to plan, make strategy and find what he's looking for without having to take on second choice jobs. Otherwise, he could consult his current HR department.
