Work Question
Does your boss tell you when they are going to be late? Obviously, we all tell our bosses if we have doctor's appointment or something, but does your boss tell you? My boss is not in yet today, and we have not heard anything from him. He even missed a meeting he set up with his other direct report. We finally heard through the grapevine that he had a doctor's appointment this morning, but no word on when he may come in.
I thought this was weird, all my previous bosses have let the whole team know when they were going to be late or delayed. And he has a work provided iPhone, so it should be very easy for him to notify us.
But my friend said his boss doesn't tell him when she is going to be late, so maybe this more common than I think. It just struck me as odd, and I've never had a boss like this before.
Re: Work Question
my old boss in NYC used to "forget" to inform us when she had appointments or wasn't going to be in. even when her FIL passed away, she didn't even call our publisher (aka HER OWN BOSS) until mid-afternoon. i think that is very, very unprofessional and just plain disrespectful of everyone's time. and you know if you were the one who forgot to mention something like that, he would have had your @ss.
sorry you have to deal with that today!
at my current job, this is what we do
No, he hasn't given any of us access to his calendar. We had asked the one person who does have access, and this appointment wasn't on it anyway.
Yeah, I had a doctor's appointment Friday, and I'm trying to imagine what would have happened if I had just taken off and not told him. I sent an email to him and copied the other two people on the team to let them know I'd be out. I'm surprised we got no notice at all, it kind of makes him look terrible when people stop by looking for him and ask us where he is, and we have no idea.
yep. this was the other thing about her not keeping us informed. oh how i don't miss her one. little. bit.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
That is so unprofessional. I always e-mail my team if I am going to be late or out.
We also have a team calendar and we put the leave on that as well. It just helps things run smoother!

I find that odd as well. However, at my current company my bosses don't tell us when they will be out of the office unless it sort of comes up in conversation like "oh, I won't be here that week so we have to schedule the meeting the next week". There have been times where I had no idea that my boss was going to be out for a week on vacation. I've always found it sort of odd but I guess it's the culture here. It almost seems to me like they don't tell us because they don't want us to think it's a time to slack off.
My coworker, boss, and myself are a team- our schedules really affect the other 2 team members, so we have all vacation days and leave time marked off. Even if something comes up at the last minute, we always know whether to expect that person in or not, and around what time.
