‘I was told my time doesn't matter... So I quit’: Employee leaves company after new boss revokes her pre-approved vacation to visit her soldier husband, just so she can take vacation instead

Finding the slivers of time between home life and work is difficult when you have a boss who prioritizes their own time before they even think about their underlings. It's normal to look out for oneself most of the time, but it's wrong to revoke pre-approved vacation time that isn't yours to revoke. Bosses believe that their subordinates should do everything in their power to never miss a day of work, to put the boss's needs before everyone else's (including their own), and do that all with a genuine smile. There's nothing worse than a new boss thinking they can walk into a company and call all the shots without doing some homework first.

The employee in this next story got approved for vacation because her husband, who is in the armed forces, was coming home from combat, and she wanted to meet him when he got off the plane. Her new boss, who is aware of this vacation time, tells her she can no longer take the time off because she has a beach vacation planned for the same day. Guess what happens next…
