A young employee turned to his manager and asked for some time off
The manager looked at him and said:
‘Why do you need time off?
The young employee thought for a moment.
He was thinking about his career
He feared that he could lose his job
He hesitated to give a straight answer
Then he said:
‘I need some personal time off to reload and recharge my batteries.’
The manager smiled and paused for a moment
She answered:
‘It is okay with me. Thank you for coming up to me. Working sometimes takes a huge toll on people. But most people are afraid to admit it and take no action. Enjoy your days off!’
We often are afraid of what others might think
We often are afraid to make a choice for ourselves
Managers know
Managers know that only the best employees take care of themselves
Managers know that self-care benefits the team and the company in the end
A fresh team does wonders
