43-year employee gets vacation time cut, takes 10 weeks of PTO and refuses to come back for less than 7 figures: 'It's the day Jimmy is supposed to return. He doesn't'

If you value your employees, don't mess with their hard-earned vacation time! 

One of the nicest parts of working a salaried job instead of an hourly job is getting a nice 2 weeks off per year. You work hard on your projects, send your emails, meet with clients, and then comes the time you look forward to all year long: vacation time! For some people, that means taking long hikes to scenic venues, while for others, it means piling the family in the van and heading to an amusement park. Some folks save up for years to take cruises or travel to European countries. There's so much to see and do, and looking forward to your vacation is almost as great as actually going on it. 

If you saved vacation time for years and years, you'd be infuriated if suddenly your company wanted to drain it away without your say-so. Just check out this story of Jimmy, who worked at the same company for 43 years! He was a very valuable employee… key word being "was." 

Next, read about some therapists who could really use a refresher course on the tricks of their trade, like one person who shared that "The TikTok her therapist was watching... started playing on full volume."
