—kittysaymoo My boss told me she would let me know about the approval soon, but her sister was due to give birth that week, and she wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be induced during my vacation, so that SHE ALSO could take off. Well, of course, her sister was having her scheduled C-section on day one of my vacation, so she told me I could not have it off.  She abused her power of being manager to give herself the day off first, even though I clearly requested mine before her, and her sister was having her fourth baby. She could have very well visited the baby that evening; she didn’t need the day off. I wish now I would have said I’m not coming in that day either way."  —shasse17 Now, my boyfriend was the one who got me into the band originally, so he had no problem with me quitting my job so we could go. It being the early 1990s, it was rather easy for me to find a job when we came back from the show. We had a blast." —stellablue —TreeTrunks —lizziedaydreaming They ended up sweet talking him into coming back until he could train his replacement since literally no one else knew how to take care of the building." —MollyStroup After a few days of them refusing every request, I told them I was going to my grandad’s funeral, and that was that. So, I booked a flight to the Caribbean, attended his funeral, and never went back to that shitty job." —NovemberRayne —amymatthewsp My husband said, ‘My wife is having an operation, and I’ve gotten the day off approved by the supervisor. He told me to just make sure you knew about it.’  But the lead said, ‘I said no. You cannot take tomorrow off. I need you here.’ So, my husband said, ‘Well, in that case, I guess I will take all the days off, starting now.’ He turned and walked out on the spot. As he walked away, he heard the shift lead behind him hollering, ‘WAIT, WAIT!’ He ignored it. Hubs was with me for my operation, and every day, all day, while I recuperated. Then, he got a new job as soon as I recovered." —ladyj52 It was either this job or school; I couldn’t have both. I walked out." —daniellegarcia3 —doofenshmirtzevilinc
