Employee Told to Reconsider Their Job if They Want to Take Their Honeymoon, Does

When this employee's marriage was fast approaching, they requested three weeks of leave from their often-absent boss. When the request came back through, the employee, saw that the request had been denied. After a week of attempted contact, they finally managed to get a hold of their boss to know why the request had been denied. They were told, "Look, we need dedicated people, if you think you can take three weeks off for a vacation, you need to reconsider your position here."

This thread was posted to Reddit's Malicious Compliance subreddit by user u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch, where it earned 31.4k upvotes and hit the trending r/all page. 

In this story, u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch describes how they complied with their boss's demand to "reconsider" their position at the company. u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch didn't like their boss all that much anyway and didn't like that they constantly had to do their absent boss's work. So, that made the decision all the easier.
