I’m going away in a couple months for a birthday trip, we’re going to Europe so it makes sense to go for a good 7-9 days. My boss denied my vacation and said I can only go 5 business days because it is unfair to my other co-workers. I don’t understand how two days makes a difference, I also asked everyone else in my office and no one has an issue or is taking time off at that time. I also made a point that we are fully staffed and that I’m going at a time that it’s actually very slow in the office as it was also slow last year.
My boss threw a whole fit and said that it’s unfair to everyone else for me to take so many days off. I said I don’t get how that matters as plenty of people have gone on vacation and a lot of people in the office have gone away at the same time.
I can’t afford to quit right now so until then I’ll just look for any small job and take whatever, if not I will not be going back there after that trip. I work 40 hours a week how is a week and some change going to affect the job? These companies are ridiculous.
