Traveling memes for workers who desperately need a vacation

Some bosses don't believe in excuses. They have a zero tolerance policy for latenesses or absences, as if they're managing robots, and not human beings. If you've never worked in the food service industry, let me tell you a secret: snow days are often incredibly busy times at restaurants of all kinds. It seems counterintuitive---after all, if the roads are closed and temperatures are in the negatives, who's going to want to go out for a burger? What happens, though, is that people lose power an…

One boss was forced to sheepishly backtrack after initially refusing to give a worker one week off once their wife gave birth to their newborn baby. Management really outdid themselves with this one… It seems ridiculously unfair to think that some bosses will not willingly give their workers requested time off, especially when it is well within the workers' rights to receive it. In this case, u/P4ddyC4ke, the OP, told the story of when his boss told him that because they were short-staffed, OP…

Planning a vacation with your significant other is the first big step in any romantic relationship because it sets up your vacation expectations for the rest of your life. So what are you supposed to do if you accidentally married a total dud who can't help plan your next dream vacation? Well, go solo of course.

If you're travelling soon, we know a few destinations you can absolutely skip over . These tourists aren't holding back about some of the worst places they've ever visited. From England to France to the US of A, these travellers chose the wrong vacation spots and lived to regret it. While I've been to some of these places and enjoyed them anyway, there are some valid gripes included with the responses below. I completely agree with the person who was lamenting about taking photos in front of a…

Flight attendants are usually pretty smiley, nice, and overall helpful, as long as you don't do something to leave them with a sour taste in their mouths. The same goes for anyone working in customer service, or hosting, of any kind. I can tell you that back when I was a waitress, a big grin and a kind word went a long way. If an entitled Karen showed up, I would not go out of my way to do a good job, but rather, I might have opted to be petty, and he or she would have been none the wiser. One…

Workplaces love to advertise their great benefits, especially if they offer generous vacation allowances.

This family drama came to a boiling point after this stepmom finally said “no.” It's hard for parents to say no to what their kids want. After all, you want to give your precious children the world! Parents work so hard to put food on the table, keep their kids wearing nice clothes, drive them to sports practices, and more. Children have no idea how much effort their parents put into raising them, so they don't always say thank you. For most of us, though, we grow up and realize all the sacrifi…

They say that by the age of 40, you should have a vendetta against at least one vacation rental company. For some reason, travel always make people turn extra greedy and with all this cash floating around, sometimes hosts of vacation homes lose a sense of genuine hospitality. In this case, one vacationer had to take justice into his own hands when his vacation stay went down the drain– literally.

A storm can be your ally if you play your cards right. To be fair, there probably won't be many opportunities to use a storm to your advantage, but never say never. One person, u/Valladian, stumbled upon a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get back at his neighbor, who had committed the very non-neighborly act of denting in OP's car, and then denying he had anything to do with it. See, this neighbor, who for the sake of the story we'll call Chester, had a Jeep, which he used frequently for camp…

While planning a vacation for two , this woman had no idea her friend would suddenly expect her to foot the bill. That's not how travelling with friends works — everyone has to pay their own share, unless you plan on a different way to split the costs that everyone can agree on. Even many couples will divide the cost of travel among the two of them to ensure both people pitch in. After all, travel isn't cheap, once the costs of hotels, flights, car rentals, food, and more, are all added togethe…

This person learned an interesting tip from about getting what you want as a guest. As u/badgermann writes, their wife worked at the “central switchboard for a group of resort hotels in a tourist area." While you're vacationing, you want everything to run smoothly. Instead of dealing with the humdrum of daily life, all you really want is to be sprawled out on the beach with a good book and no responsibilities whatsoever. However, if you have traveled on vacation even a single time, you know tha…

There are some ridiculous demands that employees simply should not have to put up with at work. For instance, if you are guaranteed a certain amount of vacation days, there shouldn't be any sort of “quid pro quo” agreement involved. If those days are guaranteed per the employee's contract, there should be no negotiation whatsoever. This Redditor shared a story about how his new boss, who just so happens to be the CEO's

Money is the only reason that people are grinding everyday at work– and what's the best thing to spend that money on? Traveling. When you get that paycheck every two weeks, it's hard to stop yourself from imagining a beach somewhere with your name on it– or in this case, it's tough not to imagine two tickets to see your favorite sports team with your long-distance girlfriend.

I want to find a cave far, far away, and live in it.

Executives will argue that business trips are important because they're maintaining relationships with their clients, but if you ask me, it's because they just want to get an all-expenses-paid vacation.
