Dear Mr. Krishna Shasankar,

We hope you’re planning to apply for leave for Jan 25, Monday. That will give you a 4-day long week-end starting Jan 22 till Jan 26. You can also start reservations for Feb 12 right away.

“…. What the hell.. Why should you hope that I plan to apply for my leave at office, and why the hell do you think my boss will grant me leave if he gets to read an email like this(If he is in the same spamming list as I am). If I was the boss and if I happened to read this mail, I would have never granted any one leave on Jan 25th …. Please stop making public abuse of our secret plans … and btw, did you send this email to your team at redbus.in, what will you do if all of them apply for a leave on 25th.. ???? (If all of them were granted leave … our holiday might go for a toss…. ha ha)”

I have nothing against Mayank or whomever. .. I certainly agree that people at marketing always find creative ways to attract customers, this email was certainly attractive and eye-catching, but telling me what I should do..  is a little bit too much..

And my dear peer software engineers & developers, never advice your Boss or TL to book tickets using the above mentioned site, it might affect your long-term plans… he he
