'She asked me to cancel my day off': Executive assistant puts foot down when coworker tries to get her to cancel her planned vacation

Who else loves when someone tries to punish you for their lack of a strong work ethic?

This executive assistant did their fair share of work on a project before their planned vacation. In fact, they did not even have to pull all the files they did since it was not even their assignment, but they helped a few coworkers out of common courtesy. Still, just a day before their vacation was finally about to start, their coworker tried to convince them to cancel their day off because she found herself in a desperate situation. In other words, she didn't get any of her own work done, yet somehow she tried to frame this as the executive assistant's fault. It obviously was not, and their boss thankfully sided with the assistant. 

Here's hoping that they fully unplugged throughout the duration of their time off and that the scrambling coworker had to figure out how to do her own job. Good luck, girl!
