Unhappy matters

Episode 1
One day during closing, I thought the accountants are already in the last phase of the close. I had already completed my journal entries. With plans to meet up with my lao gong, I went off at 7pm.

Miss B said: Please do not leave early (?!) during the first 3 days of the close.

Just last month, in November, 1 senior financial analyst and 1 accountant within the same department left on time (6pm).

How fair is this?

Episode 2
I wanted to take leave one Thursday but Miss B rejected my leave.

Miss B said: Next time, please do not take leave when the system is still open. What if there are still numbers to be put in?

On that Thursday itself, I was still putting in some numbers.

Miss B then said: You should have put in the numbers on Wednesday, not today.

I wanted to ask the purpose of me being there on a Thursday (since all numbers had to be put in on Wednesday).

How reasonable is this?

Episode 3
I am planning for a Hong Kong trip and asked for leave in March 2011. As my lao gong is only available in that particular week, I thought an understanding boss would be able to sympathise and approve. In addition, during closing, the most important days are the last 2 days of the month and the first 2 days of the next month. I would be missing just 1 day of the close.

Miss B said: I cannot cover for you because I have my own things to do.

I wanted to ask if she thought I was shaking my leg in office that week I covered her duties during her leave.

Her response to my request was: Lets talk about the work to be done during quarter-end this January 2011.

How relevant is this?

While my leave at quarter-end is disapproved, I gather that another financial analyst is taking leave from this week right up to 4 Jan 2011. Please note that by the time she comes back, year-end is over!!!

Can someone please tell me, how fair is this?

My holidays would have been better without such unhappy matters!!!
