    Practices at Work place
    Hi,

    I am new to the office culture. I have a colleague "A", who informs be if he has to go out for 30-40 minutes during Non-lunch hours.He informed me as I was the only person at my desk and he had to leave as someone was waiting for him.

    Last week, I had some important unexpected work for which I had to go out for 40 mins(non lunch hour),so I went to my colleague "B" and told him that I will gone for some time because of some imp work. Immediately he responded that "you donot have to tell me , you can just leave".

    Well I told him because he was the only one available at that time and I thought someone should know before I leave.

    What is the usual practice. Is it good practice to just put a word out there?

    Please advice

    Ask your boss what the proper procedure is. He should be make aware, I think, if you are going to be away from your work area when it isn't scheduled.
