‘Cancel [your] wedding… show up to work instead’: Employee gets told to ‘prepare to cancel or reschedule’ their wedding after getting PTO denied by management

When you think of a successful marriage, you think of love, sacrifices, partnership, and a spouse that ultimately has your marriage's well-being in mind. All good n' healthy things right? In juxtaposition, when you think of your employer, you imagine unpaid time off, 'shareholder value', and corporate burnout that leaves employees mentally bankrupt. Which is more important to you? One day of work or the love of your life?

Well, the employer in our next story seemed to think that their employee would have their 'priorities straightened out' when it came to asking for the day off for their wedding. Although the original poster requested the day off with HR over a year in advance, when it came down to the day of their nuptials, management was so short-staffed and desperately deluded that they told them to 'prepare to cancel or reschedule' the wedding to meet operational needs.

Oh, I'm sorry, did management think that their employee attending their own wedding was 'optional'? A manager imagining that one work day is more important than someone's future spouse has 'delusion' written all over it.
