Question by vittrash: How do i ask for leave for my MBA gmat exam ?
I have been working in this organisation for 3 years. Never gone on leave for more than a week. I have about 30-40 days of accrued leave. I have my gmat exams coming up in three weeks time. I was not well for past two three weeks and havent studied much. I HAVE to take leave now and concentrate on my exam. I need 3 weeks leave. How do i convey this to my boss.
My immediate boss is not very understanding. Her boss, who was my previous boss is understanding. I plan to talk to him first. But dont know if he would grant me full 3 weeks. Also dont know if i ask leave for gmat, will they sideline me after that thinking that i will anyway leave someday. I dont want to lie and take leave on the pretext of being ill, as i dont think thats ethical.
Can you please suggest a diplomatic way of getting my leave sanctioned as well as being at good terms with my boss.

nothing is more sincere than being honest. try talking with reason with your boss and maintain a professional demeanor. if your boss is unreasonable, i will seriously consider looking for other employment. you certainly will have no future in an organization where the working environment is hostile and not conducive to work for.
