Boss denies employee's vacation when they don't get it in writing, employee gets back at boss: 'I fail to understand how that is my problem'

Bosses who put employees under scrutiny during hard times in their lives are just the worst. 

If an employee tells you they need to leave for a few days or a week to see family or handle a family emergency, the boss could send their condolences and set to work figuring out how to handle the workload. They may need to pull other employees in to brainstorm how to get everything done in a timely manner, or maybe they'll need to reach out to their own boss to explain why they can't meet a certain deadline. But the one thing they should absolutely not do is bother the employee about it! That person has stated that they need time away from work, so why do so many bosses take that as a sign to start throwing tons of work-related questions their way? It's almost like they take it personally when an employee needs some time for themself. Grow up, managers!
