‘I'm fired? We’ll see about that': Manager informs employee their PTO was denied two days into their vacation, then fires them for not arriving to work, employee reports company in response

For some reason, employers have serious issues with the fact that their employees cannot physically work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It seems like if an employee is unwilling to commit every single ounce of their time to their job, they are suddenly not good enough for their employers.

Informing your employee that their paid time off was denied, two days into said paid time off, is simply disrespectful, and a perfect example of employers' inability to accept that even employees have boundaries. That is why we enjoyed reading this Reddit story, in which the employee did not give in to their employers, and even after getting fired for not arriving to work while being on vacation, the employee decided to report their company to the Department of Labor.

Scroll down to read the full extent of what this employer put their employee through, and everything that went down afterwards. After that, click here for a story of an entitled hotel guest who caused a dispute in the lobby.
