How to sanction leave in office?💁

Old Ways to ask Leave.

If you need a two-day leave and you knew it before 1 week that this is urgent and I want to take this leave without hurting my boss's or my teammate's feelings. There is one way which works all the time for me.

Bosses when you ask them to approve your Leave

Step1: Apply for a Four-day leave

That's it is finished... rest all depends upon how you talk.
Illustrated example below:

Boss: Vinayak not possible 4 days leave in such a short notice.
Me: But Sir I have to ...<your Reason>
Boss: But you are in agile process and you are billable, what will I tell to the client about this-this will cause problems.

Me: OK sir HMMMM...... Think a bit and after some time
Me: Ok Sir AAP KEH REHE HO TOH two days I will try to wrap up my things.
Boss: Ok That's good...I will handle the clients.

Now you should know by your experience that if you had asked two days at first he might have approved it or not. But more importantly in his mind, he would have made a judgement about you that this guy took leave when his team needed him or he wanted me to work. That's it. Your difficulty will increase if you want to apply leave for further coming months.

CONCLUSION:
But now it is totally different, Now that chutiya thinks you adjusted your priorities according to his, Which believe me is a very good thing and might even help you in the appraisals. Quality of adjustability, Adapting environment. Are you getting my point?
By the way, I needed only one day leave.
