    Font - I'm going away in a couple months for a birthday trip, we're going to Europe so it makes sense to go for a good 7-9 days. My boss denied my vacation and said I can only go 5 business days because it is unfair to my other co-workers. I don't understand how two days makes a difference, I also asked everyone else in my office and no one has an issue or is taking time off at that time. I also made a point that we are fully staffed and that I'm going at a time that it's actually very slow in t

    Font - My boss threw a whole fit and said that it's unfair to everyone else for me to take so many days off. I said I don't get how that matters as plenty of people have gone on vacation and a lot of people in the office have gone away at the same time. I can't afford to quit right now so until then I'll just look for any small job and take whatever, if not I will not be going back there after that trip. I work 40 hours a week how is a week and some change going to affect the job? These companie

    Font - Short_Bicycle9186 - 20h I figured out a system how to work from home during Covid perfectly and more productively than in-person. At the end of lockdown, I was forced back into the office because of complaining coworkers whose roles required in-person hours. I warned them first, which fell on deaf ears. Then I found another job immediately and left. I've doubled my salary ever since leaving them because they had been underpaying me severely for my profession. In other words, fuck em. Find

    Font - cassbiz 15h My colleague goes to India for a month every single year. This year she's going twice because her son is getting married and that's always a big event in Indian families. I am her direct counterpart so it greatly affects me when she takes vacation. Do you know what I do? I cover her because ITS HER VACATION TIME AND SHE CAN USE IT HOWEVER, WHENEVER SHE WANTS! I promise you, your coworkers do not care that you're taking your vacation for 9 days instead of 5. Your boss is just a

    Font - Average_Scaper. 13h Yup. My coworker looked at me when I told him "I got July 5th-7th scheduled off. I'll be up camping." He stared me dead in the face and said "Good, I hope you enjoy your time away from this place. We all need a break at some point." Boss wasn't happy though cause they already have 6 other guys off on 2nd shift that week. 74 ...

    Font - throwawayyourfun. 17h I took 21 days one time after working like 6 days a week for a few years. The company tried to use the old "we only ever allow a week around here." And they also said, "your responsibilities are going to change around here." I told them "I have this Vacation time saved up, I am using it for big life event A, Family gathering B and C. Pay me or not, I'm still going." And I went. They changed their tune about how disposable I was when the store sales dipped without me

    Font - Geiir. 15h I can't fathom not having weeks of vacation... I'm in Norway and we are heavily protected by the law, so I'm getting 5 weeks PTO every year, 3 of them have to be consecutive during the summer months. I went to the US for vacation, and anything less than 4 weeks and I wouldn't have considered it You guys need this movement and the general population needs to wake up and fight for your rights. ...
