I just got married and am very excited for my honeymoon to Cambodia. My wife and I do not get to take off of work often so this was a very welcomed break. I put in my request off on January 1 and my boss approved this the next day.
However, my boss is now asking my to attend a client pitch meeting on day 3 of my honeymoon. He says that this is a very important deal and he needs me just for this one day. Given that this is my honeymoon I said absolutely not. He responded that it is only one day and if he cannot depend on me for this important revenue generating meetin he is not sure that he can depend on me as a member of the team going forward. He doesn't seem to understand that I cannot simply fly back to America from Cambodia for one day. (How these idiots get into management is a different story).
I ran the whole scenario by my wife and said that I'm afraid we need to replan our honeymoon because I cannot afford to get fired and now she says that she regrets marrying me.
I am broken by being forced to choose between an income and a wife
