I was told taking a remote week out of state is basically a “vacation”. So I took the week off instead.

I asked my manager if it would be cool to work 2 extra days remotely (we're in the office only 2 days a week, remote other 3 days) so that I could visit my S.O., who lives out of state, for our anniversary, and just work remotely from there for a week. She was cool with it but a higher up called be the next day, denied my request and blasted me for even asking. “It's different if you need to see a sick family member,” which I was previously granted, “but if you're visiting a boyfriend out of state for a week, that's a vacation. [Company] gives you so much paid time off, you don't need to save your vacation days, use them.” And my favorite, “at your level, you need to be with your team in person on a regular basis.” which basically means they need to micromanage…

When I hear the idea of raising the minimum wage to $15, I think that about a third of the minimum wage workers would just be fired to make up for the pay increase. Would someone explain why I’m wrong?
