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…

'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…
