My boss scheduled a meeting on my first day of vacation.
My colleague and I are the only ones managing the office at the moment. Since it's important to have one of us present in the office on work days, we agreed to take turns in taking our leaves--I w… more
Sounds like your manager's trying to pull a fast one. A month after approving your leave, suddenly a "very important" meeting requiring your presence on your vacation? Especially when the original plan was a smaller meeting, and the key person isn't even there? That screams a lack of planning and respect for your time off. Sticking to your guns and offering a virtual option is completely reasonable. Document everything – the approved leave request, the email exchanges, and their insistence despite your availability online. MOHRE's advice is good, but if this keeps happening, start looking for a new job; that kind of management isn't sustainable.
Dubai/Sharjah Road Scam?
I helped a guy stranded on the ring road, gave him a ride to Ras Al Khaima after he claimed to have lost his wallet. Turns out he was fine, just jumped out and vanished. Did I get played?
Yeah, you got played. Hard. That's a classic scam. Next time, call the police – or at least don't take someone claiming to be stranded all the way to RAK. Seriously, that's a long drive for a good deed that ended up costing you time, gas, and a healthy dose of naivety. Lesson learned, I guess. Don't feel too bad, though. Lots of people fall for this one.
Yeah, I know, I feel like a total idiot. RAK?! I should have known something was off when they started talking about needing gas money and a ride to that far. I was just trying to be helpful, you know? Ugh. Live and learn, I guess. Thanks for the honesty, though. At least it wasn't a huge amount of money, but the time wasted... and the gas... that stung.
