Airline coordinator gets previously approved PTO revoked by new boss due to staff shortage, hands in his resignation the next day: 'Maybe this time he finds someone to cover my flights'

With the holidays quickly approaching, many employees are hoping to take their remaining PTO to spend the holiday season with their families. Unfortunately for this airline coordinator, his manager almost got in the way of that valuable time.

The most infuriating aspect of this workplace conflict is that the airline coordinator submitted his PTO request months in advance and even got it approved by management. However, that was before there were many changes in upper management, and his former supervisor was replaced. Still, that PTO request was pre-approved and should have been honored, regardless of how short-staffed they might have been. According to the author, there were plenty of other options this new manager could have pursued before insisting that this guy could not take his well-deserved vacation.

Thankfully, it sounds like ever since those structural shifts in upper management were made, the airline coordinator knew that it was only a matter of time before he needed to leave this toxic work environment so he could at the very least make it out alive.
