'My job denied me days off for my wedding': Bride-to-be gets PTO denied for her wedding, stoutly refuses their disapproval

PTO requests are a delicate tug-of-war in the workplace offering both managers and employees a semblance of power over one another. But pull too hard in your best interest's direction and someone in the workplace is going to dig their heels in. Whether it's on policy, the 'unlimited PTO' on their contract, or just a good ol' fashioned power struggle, PTO debates that go sour are tough to recover.

The Redditor in this next story reached an impasse with their manager when a PTO request was denied. You'd think that a manager who's aware of a once-in-a-lifetime event coming up in their employee's life would plan accordingly by approving their PTO request, but when this stouthearted manager refused to give his employee time off for her wedding, a test of stubbornness ensued.

And can you blame her? What would you do if your boss denied your PTO request for your wedding–bring your work laptop down the aisle with you? Or flip him the bird and say, 'Sorry, you're going to be short-staffed'? Because at the end of the day, when most of us are 'requesting' PTO, we're really just informing our boss of our imminent absence.
