ミスターニワトリと初レッスン。なぜミスターニワトリかというと、トレーナーの自己紹介音声の裏でニワトリが絶叫しているのが聞こえるから。この人のプロフィールを見つけたときは何分か大笑いして、ブログにタグつけてプロフィールへのリンクを貼るために、それだけのために一度はレッスンを受けようと思っていた。
初めましてで普通に今日何してたとか、天気の話などをした。アフリカ系っぽい見た目なのでてっきりナイジェリア在住とかかと思ったらフィリピンだった。スーパーマーケットに買い物に行った、良い日だった、とか言っていた。
この人はディクテーション&リピートの人だった。見た目やプロフィール紹介音声の印象とは結構違って、か細くて優しい声の持ち主だった。
今回のレッスンは簡単だった。職場で休暇申請に困ったこともないし、そもそも普段から同僚の休暇予定を確認したりはしているので問題ない。
明日はミスターアメイジングを予約した。彼も先月下旬が直近だったので、三週間ぶりくらいか。
- The important thing that I learned from the previous trainer is that I shouldn't be a "credit hog". I should recognize the effort of others that contributed both actively and passively in the attainment of that success
- No. It's really easy to take time off at my company
- Yes, I always try to make sure that my time off won't result in a issue with staffing when making my request. We use Google calendar in my team, so I could see the time-off schedule of my colleagues.
- I think Don felt that Taro's attitude wasn't very professional. It sounded that Taro isn't fully committed to his responsibility as project manager. Taro mentioned that everything will be fine but he never showed any evidence. So, if I were Don, I'd not trust him and would hesitate to approve his time-off request
- I think Don was glad with Taro's attitude. He was confident and comfortable to approve his request.
- In my company, we have an internal web based system that we use to submit our time-off request. All employees have an account in this system. I'm not too sure, but I feel my boss gets an email whenever we make a request and then logs in to view it. He then decides to approve it or not
- No, he has never rejected my requests. Even in my previous company, my time-off requests were never rejected as well
