Boss makes employee cancel vacation, employee's girlfriend confronts boss: 'I then demanded my boyfriend's boss [refund] me every penny'

Friendly reminder to get your PTO confirmed before getting non-refundable flights! This employee's girlfriend learned that the hard way. 

People in the comments section were a bit tough on her for putting pressure on her boyfriend to make his boss refund every penny of their planned vacation after the boss denied the employee's PTO request. Still, we have reserved at least some sympathy for her. It's not like this employee wasn't entitled to that time, and while he wants to advance his career, he shouldn't feel the need to cancel his vacation just so he can organize a game with his boss. That's right: the reasons behind the cancellation were not even work-related! 

While we sympathize with the employee's desire to get promoted, one should not feel that attending a social event will make or break your career. If that's the case, then you're working at a good old-fashioned toxic work environment. Keep scrolling below for the full discourse from folks in the comments.
