Take me away, far, far away. Let me use my PTO and take a day off. Please, boss, don't make me stay.

See, that rhymes. I'm a good rhymer. I also really need a vacation. Employees get PTO but if we're being honest, it's frowned upon to take them. A job is like a marriage. Remember your vows. 'I, worker, take you, job, to be my partner, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish'… you get the idea.

You need to be grateful you have a job, ignore your micromanager, and listen to your condescending coworkers if you want to put food on the table. So now what? Well, to make myself feel better about the impending sense of doom, I like to scroll through heartwarming posts.

Next, check out this employee who quit on the spot after their boss told them off for sitting down during their 12 hour shift.
