UPDATE: Manager schedules meeting with employee during her PTO, reprimands her when she doesn't show up: 'Her boss called to chastise her for it while we were on vacation'

This guy's wife had the unfortunate experience of working for someone who did not understand the meaning of time off. When you're planning a vacation, you're setting yourself up to unplug from the pressures of work and other challenging aspects of your weekly routine. Unfortunately, some folks put so much emphasis on how perfect their vacation needs to be that by the time they're actually on the beach, everything seems to fall apart. 

For this author, he had to witness his wife go through a work crisis when she wasn't supposed to be working at all. In fact, her boss was well aware that this was supposed to be her time off. She had prepared everything in advance so that nobody would need her assistance and so that everything would run smoothly in her absence. Then, her boss decided to schedule a last-minute event in her work calendar during her time off, an event that the author's wife wasn't even made aware of because she didn't have access to her work phone and email. Naturally, she missed the meeting, and her boss lost it! 

Keep scrolling through for the full story and stay tuned for the update when she returned to work after her so-called "vacation."
