UPDATE: Senior employee demands special treatment from management, sabotages coworker's day-off request: 'I'm gonna threaten to quit over this'

When a coworker's time off starts to interfere with your work-life balance, there's not much else you can do but start job hunting. 

Have you ever been at one of those jobs where the bosses play favorites to an exhausting degree? This happens all the time… You start working at a company and realize that your boss and one specific coworker are besties. They get lunch together, they gossip all day long, and most importantly, that coworker gets whatever they want. They request 2 weeks off work at the last minute? Approved. They start leaving earlier and earlier every day, until eventually they're leaving at 3 PM? Sure, who cares? This can leave everyone else with a heavier workload, or it might limit when they can have their time off. How irritating! 

Of course, if you point out the favoritism to your boss, it won't reflect well on you — it'll make you look like a tattletale, or make you seem jealous. Plus, by doing that, you're insulting your boss's BFF, so you have to be very careful how you broach the subject. In many cases, though, the relationship between boss & bestie is too strong for one person to break through, so if it really bothers you, you'll just have to move on. 

This person shared that their coworker gets whatever she wants, and although it's a union job, it doesn't seem like a very good place to work. Let's hope this employee finds a company that values them — and their time — a lot more than they currently are.
