Trying to settle on vacation time
Monday, May 30:
Koodiorjatyttö (by email): Can I have an (unpaid) vacation at time A and time B? If these are too close together, then A is the one I'd rather move.
Wednesday, June 1:
Koodiorjatyttö (by email, after having recieved no answer): So, what about the vacation?
PointyHairedBoss (by email): I'll decide next week.
Monday, June 6:
Koodiorjatyttö (by email): Do you think you can decide at least on the B-part today? I gotta decide on the plane tickets tomorrow.
PointyHairedBoss (by email): I'll try.
PointyHairedBoss leaves without answering.
Koodiorjatyttö (by phone): Sorry to bother you, but what about the vacation?
PointyHairedBoss (by phone): I am afraid I can't answer you now. Gotta talk to our salespeople. I think the customer did not like you much, I am not sure we want to keep you.
(That is after the sales manager told me that everything is OK with me and the customer.)
OK, out of 4 conversations with the PointyHairedBoss so far she only threatened to fire me in 2.
