[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you just submitted your leave request, but the maternity leave had already been submitted prior to yours, no?[/quote]

So friggin’ what.  It is MY [i][b]earned leave[/i][/b]. I’m not being compensated for the loss. Ridiculous.[/quote]

Take it another time[/quote]

No, the OP is right. Her office is not allowing any PTO from mid-September through the end of the year (and into February 2024). She also will lose any leave accumulated if she doesn't take it in the next 2 months. Who knows if she will lose out on PTO hours that accumulate beginning on September.

That's a terrible policy. [/quote]

Then she should take the advice of the many patient, rational posters on this thread. Document all requests and the rejection in writing, find out exactly when she is being disallowed vacation (is it really the entire length of the maternity leave? even the month the colleague is taking to extend the leave with vacation/sick leave?), and then request recompense through HR. Whether that's getting to roll over her leave, or getting additional leave next year to make up for it, or getting allowance to take off for at least some of the time she's requesting, whatever. OP can decide in the course of that negotiation if the company is acting in good faith. If they don't, she can start looking for a new job.

But OP doesn't want to listen to reason, doesn't want to hear that this issues is common and has nothing to do with "being punished for not having kids" (lol). She just wants to rage and be told her boss is a big meanie and also trash parents and complain about her hyper-specific issues like the fact her DH can't travel July-September for some mysterious reason (also covering for someone on maternity leave? that would at least explain OP's fixation).

OP could have gotten a lot more empathy in this thread if she wasn't behaving like a child and lashing out. She lost all credibility. I no longer care what happens with OP, if she acts like this at work I'm guessing they are just freezing her out until she quits.[/quote]
