I'll add the support back in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-return-to-work-travel-related#post-2274687 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:32:04 +0000 avivoca 2274687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-return-to-work-travel-related#post-2274682 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:30:26 +0000 Mrs D 2274682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds good...only thing I may consider adding is something to the effect of "so I can ensure we have proper support lined up" so he knows you are willing to travel and not simply prepping him for a "ya, I cant travel" follow up email.</p> <p>I travel a lot for work and have always been open with them about liking to travel (which I do) and what my limits are for enjoying it. I think letting him know that you are ok with travel and prepping for it may help get a better response - may make him less worried about ulterior motives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-return-to-work-travel-related#post-2274677 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:27:10 +0000 CakeLady 2274677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds great - like you are trying to plan ahead so that you can travel as necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-return-to-work-travel-related#post-2274656 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:13:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2274656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds great and definitely doesn't sound like you are trying to get out of traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-return-to-work-travel-related#post-2274649 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:10:24 +0000 BandDmommy 2274649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-return-to-work-travel-related#post-2274639 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:05:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2274639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that sounds good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-return-to-work-travel-related#post-2274636 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:02:25 +0000 Corduroy 2274636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm returning to work in mid-October and I'm starting to stress about business travel with two LOs. While I was pregnant my job travel requirements went from about every two months to almost weekly including a lot of weekends. I didn't have to do the travel because I could not preform the job function while pregnant so team members have been covering for me for almost a year. </p> <p>The project I was working on just completed another travel intensive phase (I think). I'd like to find out what the travel needs will be upon my return so I can try to build a stash and I was thinking of sending an email like below. I'd appreciate your thoughts. I don't want to come across as asking not to travel although I'm really hoping the travel is over or that the person covering the travel so far will finish it up. </p> <p>"Hello (Boss),</p> <p>Congratulations on the launch of the new product line. Very impressive that it got out so quickly.</p> <p>I’m starting to plan for my mid-October return. I’m hoping to make the transition as seamless as possible for the team and for my family. It would be helpful to get a sense of anticipated travel needs for October &amp; November.</p> <p>Since projects can change quickly I thought it would make sense to check in with you now and again at the end of September so I can be prepared to travel as needed. Are there any trips on your radar at this point?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Corduroy"</p> <p>Thoughts appreciated. Boss is male, no kids, if that matters. LO will be 4 months when I return. </p>
