This happened with my friend who booked a ski trip. They told him he had to cancel this trip. He went anyways and handed in his resignation.
Then they had to hire him as a contractor at a really high rate. True geniuses there.
First day of my honeymoon, wife and I are sitting down with a drink, my old boss called me and asked real nasty, "I just wanted to know if you were planning on coming in today."
Uh...no?
Why not?
The ship I'm on is literally leaving port right now. I'm about to not even be in the country. I'm on my honeymoon?
So there's no possible way for you to come in today?
Not unless you send a helicopter and come here on it to explain to my very angry wife why I'm not going to be here on our HONEYMOON...
Well I have you down as working here today. In the future, you're supposed to inform us 2 weeks in advance before using your vacation time. You can't just decide to not come in.
We discussed this in person 6 months ago. I gave you the required form myself at that time. You signed it and gave me a copy, which is sitting on my desk at home. I'll see you in two weeks.
Alright and when you get back we can have a meeting about properly notifying supervisors when you intend to take long periods of time off...
God, what a miserable asshole she was.
Corporations are stupid. My dad got his job eliminated with a severance package after 25+years at a place that was moving plants, then hired at same company as a contractor at 50% raise for 8 more years (till he retired). Like the accounting math makes no sense
When put my vacation time in I always write "this is a notification, not a request" in the notes.
Don't have to write it that normal.
