Kinda a feel weird

I have applied for leave for 2 days this Thursday n Fri, There’s certain important presentation came up on this Thursday. I said I have lay over for 3 hrs. I will do the presentation in that, no issues from my side.

My manager said, no I don’t entertain such behaviours in my team. If you’re on leave, enjoy it. Don’t think about it work.

I felt weird coz, I have never worked in any org, where managers stops you to work 😅

They do so in order to make it sound as if they are doing you a favor and they will redeem that in unimaginable ways at ungodly hours

Thats the right way. Be on PTO when you are on PTO. I even ask my team if they dont take a PTO for 2-3 months .
