You can't accept me using the time I've earned? Should I get approval for how I spend my paycheck too?
It wasn't a request, I was letting you know so you can plan. See you when I get back.
Told them I would be in hospital, had it denied
Was in hospital anyway
That's illegal, you are guaranteed at least two weeks of (unpaid) medical leave whether yoou're the King or a city street sweeper.
United Healthcare workers: 
'oh, I'm sorry did you think that was a request?'
The US is wild.
You call yourselves the land of the free, but have to beg your boss to let you have time off that’s owed.
Freedom is when nazis can freely beat you on the street and cops do nothing. FREEDOM, BABY! 🦅🇺🇸
(Fun fact, I got arrested when I defended myself against a bully in school, ACAB)
That was a typo, it's actually the Land of the Fee
Funny story, my wife told her boss she needed time off for our honeymoon as we drove to our wedding. She got it, but they teased her about it for a month.
I still remember putting in vacation at my first job, three months in advance and they still said "well it's your job to make sure your shifts are covered". Fuck you, Karen, you make the damn schedule one month at a time, just don't put me on it that week.
The shirking of responsibility gets me every time cause like if the manager doesent do that then what DO they do?
Seriously. You aren't really managing your employees if they have to organize resource shortages for you. At my job, I tell my colleagues to just take time off and, like me, list a few close co-workers as people to contact in case of emergencies in their OOO reply. Nothing is life-or-death, so people can deal with waiting. It's not like anyone is taking off months straight.
It's rediculous how retail jobs put you through the ringer if you dare to try to stay home while too sick to work (and basically punish you for doing the right thing and calling to notify them you won't be in and why) but then you get into a professional job and you can sometimes simply not show up and tell nobody and be fine
I got fired from a job because I took my already approved time off and told them I literally couldn't come in when they called me the day my PTO started, when I was already out of state.
Pretty sure that's wrongful termination
You can be fired for almost anything.
They just may have to pay unemployment.
They did have to pay unemployment, but they tried really hard to discourage me from seeking it, saying I likely wasn't even eligible for it and not to even bother filing.
Lovely. This one weird trick saves thousands and only costs people who don’t matter.
Wow, that's shitty of them... Like, what do you even lose for trying? They knew they were going to have to pay up if you applied, those bastards were trying to gaslight you.
I hate corpos so damned much
Beppo make Earth proud?
Back when I worked a shitty retail job we would usually hire a few people on fixed term/fixed hours over the Christmas/New Year peak (ie, you get minimum 20 hours a week for 16 weeks starting November 1st), first couple of weeks are mostly training, then peak, then cover into the new year while the full time people take some leave.
Had one guy who got to the end of his training then informed management that he would need leave approved starting now and right through peak because his family was going to an expensive ski resort but that he'd happily pick up some more hours when he got back. Got really salty when he was told that that wasn't going to happen, and he was welcome to go anyway but shouldn't expect a job when he got back.
More people should get hired, go through training, then leave.
