After witnessing administrative lapses and management issues in where I currently work, my boss went on a leave to his home country and did not formally send out notification email to me (working directly under him) only for me to realize weeks after his travel that he went for a long vacation.
The challenges I faced was been responsible in sending report to him on a weekly and monthly basis which was now meant to be sent to someone else in his absence, I kept sending to him as I was not aware of his leave. The person acting on his behalf had to call on my attention of not receiving reports of which he himself did not notify me he was acting on my boss behalf. I had to let him know that I have been sending reports to my boss which he then told me that my boss was on leave, this was the time I got to know of his travel not been the regular trips.
I wasn't too surprised but was not pleased with this, as my boss had earlier in the year did something I was not happy with.
How do I tackle such or subsequent issues? as things are seeming not to change and is making loose motivation at my workplace.
I think in teamwork where you are doing work together than it is the right of superior boss to inform their junior staff when he leave. Without sharing from boss it is not right.
That is not appropriate. It is the moral duty of the boss to inform the subordinate so that the latter can step up his role with a proper action plan. Also, in my opinion, a boss-subordinate relation can flourish in the most fruitful way if there is an open two-way communication. Lack of communication is never a good sign
This is actually not right but please be careful of any lapses in your working eviroment that could be traced to your table while your boss is away, kindly do everything within your capacity to fill in the gap for your boss not allowing what he did to affect the job. Respectfully call his attention to the company policies weeks after his resumption but not too official. keep mails of his misbehaviours not because you want to fight back but to guide your self when need arises. You are a boss tomorrow. Cheers.
No it's not right, just work around it
it is not right.
As the head of a particular department or division, you have to report to your subordinates whenever need be to travel on either business trip or vacation. this would create more trust and ensure smooth running of all activities
