“Give them an inch and they will take a mile. You made the right move.” said u/mopeyy.

"Last time that happened to me I told my boss “You approved it last week, I already bought the tickets and reserved a car. I'm going. If I have a job when I get back, that's up to you.” said u/SXTY82.

“This. Also, it sets the precedence for future ‘time off’ requests. 'It's a yes now. But as you clearly already know, it's at our discretion to cancel it at a later date, if need be.' Nobody should feel like their approved time off is a ‘maybe.’” said u/eyeamboard.

“This is a lesson for all of us.” said u/Duke-Guinea-Pig.

“Everything on paper. Don't talk to your landlord or tenant on the phone. If it involves money get it on paper.” said u/BJaysRock.

“You don’t have to ask. You just tell. ‘Here are the days I’ll be unavailable.’” said u/Pointless_Lawndarts.
