How quickly can a sabbatical request get approved?
1
I’ve recently had a conversation with my manager where the feedback was essentially that I’m not currently performing at the level expected for my role and that there are areas I need to improve. At this stage, it was framed as feedback/coaching rather than a formal PIP. Can an employee be placed on a PIP at any point during the year, or does it usually happen following an annual performance review?
How long is a piece of string * is it a fun sabbatical or is tough stuff happening * are you a key seller / key delivery lead etc * are you trying to be gone in a week and leaving a project in the lurch If it’s life stuff talk to your people lead / trusted SM and over the decade I’ve been here that is easy to handle, manage and quick. If it’s fun sabbatical and answer yes to the rest of the questions, good luck. It’s a busy push for q4
Not true. For health/family stuff, very easy. If you want to go travelling, that’s completely discretionary. I’ve approved travelling LOAs three times, and it was easy, but given current business context, I would anticipate a more rigorous process depending on when OP wants to head out
