I have been waiting to receive a date for my operation for a long time when they suddenly rang me on Tuesday and told me that someone else had cancelled their appointment and if I wanted to come in the next day. I went to my boss and told him that I would be away and he said: “No problem, do what you have to do and come back when you’re healed and ready. We will get someone to cover your assignments”. Just wanted to share how some team leaders handle their team members in other countries. I also want to clarify that I’m from Norway and work in Norway as well for one of the largest banks in the country.
