Eh, just take MC if your boss didn't approve your AL... Such creativity. Juvenile, but creative still. But did you know that you can face a disciplinary action for misusing your MC? Imagine this, You take an MC, but then you go to the mall, you're spotted by a colleague and it was made known to the management. OR, You couldn't get your AL approved, then you take MC instead to go to Phuket, post your picture on IG, and somebody at work saw those. OR, You take MC, and you went back to your hometown 300 km away, travelled back, and your manager caught wind of this. All these hypothetical situations (minus getting caugt) are called 'malingering'. And can be grounds for a disciplinary action which can contribute to a fair and lawful dismissal. Malingering betrays the trust the employer has put on you, it is an act of taking advantage by lying. Put it however you want it, it is what it is. Once a trust has been broken, it is hard to be mended. So, no matter how creative you are, or how confident you are that you will not get caught, please don't do this on your moral conscience. Have some virtue. Talk to your employer if you really need the leave, communicate, discuss. We talk about our rights as employees but forget about our responsibilities as one. #malingering #mc #cutisakit #labourlaws
AL on Friday, then continue "MC" on Monday
There are also those that takes MC whenever things get tough... Like important meetings and work delivery datelines 😂 It takes patience, time and lots of TLC to help guide them to understand things, that we are all paid to Get Shit Done. 💪😜

10moI never understood why an earned leave (from work) would be denied. No one is that important that they can’t be away for a day or two. If your manager constantly denies your leave application, it’s time to find a new manager.
