UPDATE: ‘I got fired’: Boss fires employee for refusing to come home early from vacation, despite TO being initially approved

The restaurant industry is known for being fickle; if a few coworkers call in sick, you're gonna find yourself in a bit of a pickle… that is, as a manager. But as someone in a management position, that is your problem; not the other employees' issue. In this case, OP's boss initially approved their vacation but quickly backpedaled when it became apparent that they had granted time off to too many other employees, meaning that now they were short-staffed. Tough luck, as OP was already on their v…

'It's not like this impacted him in any way': Teen loses job after parent schedules non-negotiable vacation time for him

'My partner hasn't done a load of laundry in ten years': Wife takes vacation away from family, husband doesn't know what to do with himself

It's remarkable yet unsurprising how dependent this guy is on his wife. For one, they've been together for 12 years and he's fully 37 years old. In other words, he should be able to do a load of laundry, sweep and clean their home, and take care of the kids by himself for a few nights… especially because that's precisely what his wife has been doing every day since they've been parents. She shared this thread via Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. He works in IT and gets exhausted from his ful…

'I can't help you': Hotel guests demand front desk clerk update prepaid nonrefundable OTA reservation, clerk refuses

People often wonder why booking a reservation online is cheaper than booking it in person at the front desk when you arrive, and if you haven't worked in the service industry, you most likely won't know that it actually isn't. You're gonna have to pay some online fees that weren't entirely apparent at first when you clicked on the page.
