Trending @Infosys; Got 14 day leave while others not getting 5 days lol 😂
So it was middle of October, and the city is fully buzzing, man. Everyone in office talking about Diwali leaves :who’s getting how many days off, who’s manager is strict, and who’s gonna be stuck working during the festival.
Me? Bro, I had already scored 14 days of leave, full two weeks. Everyone else was still running around trying to convince their managers, but I was already chilling, planning my trip back home. Infosys is no easy job, yaar. You deal with so many issues, but the real challenge is dealing with your manager, lol.
My manager is another level of drama. This guy was always favouring his “special” people in the team. They literally never do anything, but somehow get all the credit.
His style was clear. If you weren’t in his good books, prepare yourself for nightmare projects, weekend calls, and random work dropping in your inbox on Friday evening just when you think you’re done. But if you were one of his special slaves?
Life was sorted. But guess what? I had something on him. Few months ago, there was this massive client issue. One of his “favourite” guys had totally messed up, and the client was ready to fuck shit up. It was a disaster. His career was going to blow up, and his pet was nowhere to be seen. I had to step in, bro and fix the whole thing and saved everyone’s ass. He owed me BIG time. Fast forward to now, Diwali leave season. Everyone’s scared of asking for long leave, but I sent my request for 14 days without blinking.
Two full weeks. Everyone else was getting just 4 or 5 days max. My manager tried his typical manager talk. “Business needs,” “We’ll see,” blah blah. But I knew he couldn’t say no.
If he denied me, I’d bring up the whole client issue. Got that leave for 14 days while people are asking me what happened.
Its good that you got the leaves.. but dont you think its boring to have 14days off work? I get bored after 4 days..
It is boring but travelling back to hometown and spending time with parents, sleeping on your own bed , chilling with hometown local friends and even good stress free or less stress sleep feels good though and worth it.
Hmm, I wouldn’t know.. I work in my hometown..
You played it smart, man. Used that past incident to your advantage and got the leave. Office politics can be tricky, but you handled it well.
Getting leave is such a big deal. 😂 What to say
Aish hai apki to..enjoy
As long as it is planned well ahead of , I don’t see why many managers make a big issue of leaves.. it’s people’s “earned” leaves, not like manager is doing any favor. I have taken and given 2-3 weeks leaves without any questions..
Bhai tum cheetah ho
In infosys you dont have to ask for leave ... Why you guys apply for leave just take leave it will auto atically deducted from your account ??
Whats the issue ? Infosys have only one category for leave,earned leave only no one can reject your leave.
Lol kudos to you! I also learnt little politics I got early joining at persistent and I wanted to get off early i pinged my manager I knew it he would do exactly opposite of what i suggest so i asked him to relieve me in November he said no i will relieve you in October and that's what I wanted 😆😙
Nice...
