What should I do of such a boss?

I guess you must leave your company as you don't have any other way but to complete your MBA. After MBA you can continue to search for other better opportunities. If you still think that this company is very good, then you must obey your boss to stop your education.

He sounds forgetful. I would remind him that he already gave you his consent. I would take my chances and take the leave regardless of his threats and then deal with him when you come back.

Don't we all feel the same. Everyone feels that his/her boss is the worst boss around. But seriously I think if you feel that your boss is not being reasonable you should first talk to him once. But if that does not work, you should not hesitate to discuss the same with your HR department and see if they can help you. Cheers! Ram

Try to talk with him again about it. Do it in a humble and nice manner and explain why there is really a need to do so. Assure him that you will be forever grateful to him for giving you this opportunity. Plead with him, because he is just human and he will give in to your pleading.

basically he suppose to give you the day of, because you request it two month ago, and any company knows that education has priority they can't fired you for that. you are a good employee cause other employee would just call saying they very sick and once again what they are going to do fired you? that's my opinion. but hold on to your job cause you don't have a choice and try to talk to him if he doesn't want to give you the day, try to call corporate because every body has a boss, corporate will deal with that and you will have the day off.

Hi shailesh. I'm sorry to hear this. Your boss is indeed very selfish. I can feel your pain. I once had a selfish boss, too. My previous company is always invited to different social events. Sometimes, these events take place during the night. Since the company pays my boss' gas and the like, he is responsible for taking his subordinates to these events. He will pick them up from the company, go to the event together, and then drive his subordinates back to the company. However, I heard that many times on their way back to the company, he would just ask his subordinates to get out of his car in the middle of somewhere because he thinks it's a hassle to drive all the way back to the company. He doesn't even care even if it was raining. What's worse is he wouldn't even lend his subordinates some of his umbrellas in the car. He's a good liar too. He takes all the credits from other people's hard work. None of his subordinates respect him. Since you've already done your part (asking your boss ahead of time), just go ahead and take your exam. You have no other choice and your boss can't stop you. If you're worried about being fired, perhaps you can call in sick on that day? He can't do anything about it. Maybe your job is very important to you now and it's hard to mess up at this point. I don't know if your boss is being serious about firing you. I hope not. The worst case scenario is that either (1.) You will take your MBA exam and lose your job or (2.) You will not take your exam and still have your job (and perhaps lose all your chances of getting promoted or finding a better job). You have to think which is more important to you and which will benefit you more in the long run. Good luck!

For me said that problem when you prayed to Jehovah God because he is the God who can gave you more time to blessed you and gave you peace of mind.

For me prayer is the most way and called the name of Jehovah because he always do something good for now.

You should try to talk to him again and try to convince him that this is very important for you and you can't miss your exams. If he is still adamant you should have a chat with your HR manager and try to make them understand the gravity of the situation and i am sure HR guys will make this possible for you. The only resolution is by having a chat and making them realize that this is important and you have to wait for 1 more year if you can't make it this year.

I am sorry to hear about the difficulty you are having with your boss right now. It is indeed very stressful to deal with that kind of a boss. Your boss clearly does not care about your education. Perhaps he thinks that once you've completed your MBA, you will surely resign from your current work and look for better opportunities. Losing you as an employee would then become a loss of the company. That might be the reason why your MBA is the least of his concerns. Well, that is of course selfish of him, because it is only practical (and natural) for anyone to follow his dreams and aim for the best. It is very admirable of you to be working and studying at the same time. Those two are very difficult to handle at the same time. Many would rather choose one at a time to avoid conflicts. Since your boss already consented to your request ahead of time, it is very wrong of him to change his mind before your big day. While it might threaten your position at work, but there is no other way but for you to try to talk to him again. Tell him that you've already set your schedule, and he already consented to your request before. You have no other option but to take a leave and take your exam. I hope he will finally listen to you. Best wishes, and good luck to your exams.
