[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the OP is not reacting well to the posts, but honestly if I was her, I would be livid too. Not being able to take leave from mid October to mid February is crazy. The longest amount of time I’ve ever been not able to request leave was working retail and there was a three week blackout date. When someone has been out of the office for medical leave for a month once, I was never not allowed to take a day off. I’d say anything beyond 2-4 weeks is unacceptable. Look for a new job, even if you lose your earned vacation time. Because it sounds like your job is going to be a living hell October to February.[/quote]

I simply do not believe this is the case. I think OP put in for this wedding and it was denied, she asked why and they said they needed coverage due to someone being out on maternity leave, and because OP is an extremely reactive person with little to no ability to regulate her emotions or react rationally to bad news, she has taken this to mean she is not allowed to take any leave for four months. She has shot down a variety of suggestions, including people trying to help her get what she wants. She's purposefully misinterpreted multiple posters, including some who originally supported her and wanted to help her. And yes, she has continually said insulting things about parents or women who use maternity leave, as though that is who is to blame for this situation.

This is a solvable problem but OP doesn't want to solve it. She just wants to melt down.[/quote]

I'm sorry but any office that can't deal with one person on long-term maternity leave while another takes a few days off for a wedding, is a VERY poorly run office. This isn't on OP - this is on her sh***y management.[/quote]

But it doesn't appear she is asking for a few days off for a wedding.  She is asking for a few days off for a wedding PLUS an extra few days off for a vacation.  OP is purposely not answering whether the few days for the wedding we're approved or denied and only focusing on the "mini" vacation attached to the wedding.[/quote]
