No, I was always responsible towards my job. I didn't take long leave without prior intimation to my superiors.

Although I am a mature person and I understand my responsibilities and I am caring for my job but once I have been absent for few days informing officials afterwards for the urgent reasons which they consider as valid.

Yes sir, as there are circumstances in which you can't afford to not spend a few days to take care of (like a marriage), but the important thing is you have clear communication with your colleagues, your customers and prepare a good backup plan to make sure that the company business is not interrupted in any way.

Nope, I never been absent from work more than a few days, and as I said I always give first priority to my work and I'm purely dedicated to it from past two years.
And I always make sure that my leaves are planned and I inform about it to management at least 15-20 days before so that a back up can be arranged for that time.
