Hi,
I have a concern. I am in need of leaves in the month of Jan for around 9-10 days. And when approached the reporting manager for the same, she denied the same and asked me to reduce the number of leaves, which I cant since this is something really important. When I informed her the same, the conversation literally turned into an argument. How do I handle the situation now?.... Kindly suggest.

hi !
Anitha, I would sugget you to meet your manager once and say about your issue completely so that she can understand the situation and may grant you the leave.On the other hand ,if you have any credit leaves in your account then you can approach your HR manger.I understand your criticality,but think from the employer grounds too,they may lose some work or SLA's if you are not there for 10 days.Plan accordingly if you could reduce your leaves so that no one will suffer.

Hey Ramu,
Thnx for your suggestion.
I have already spoken to her and explained the criticality of the situation, and I can in no way reduce the no. of days of leave. And this is the first time that I am approaching her for a long leave. I have already checked wit my HR regarding the no. of leaves that I could carry forward, and am even okay if i need to undergo a LOP. Tell me how do i proceed.
regards,

Firstly, I don't think 9-10 days is a long leave.
You should tell your manager and hr that you are taking leaves for the given period and tell your reason.
Don't request, just inform them. That's the best way to deal such managers.
Further, as far as work is concerned, it will never finish in any company.
You have to make a balance between work and life. And if it is required, you can't ignore your personal life for work and company's interest.
Send a straight forward mail to your manager and you are done.

Hey Deepak,
Thanx for that bit of good suggestion. I had sent her a mail yesterday informin her the no. of days with dates, and she started fuming at me and told its unprofessional to be sending mails for such things and she wanted me to instead speak to her directly on the same and not send mails. Do you think it is unprofessional to ask for leave by means of mail?

There is nothing unprofessional in sending mail for leave.
We use to do it same way. I just add my vacation plans in my weekly status report and send it to manager. My manager used to compile all status reports, and update vacation plans of all members in his report.
Leave is something which an individual has to plan and take. If you can't take a leave as per your requirement than we can't call it a leave, then its a company holiday.
