[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the medical procedure is time sensitive, you only scheduled it a week ago.  Just reschedule.  Your coworker can not change her date.  If this is a life altering test or you are in great pain, I would stand firm.  [/quote]

Your post suggests the procedure is next month, which means at least 2 weeks from now. You can rightfully be a sourpuss about your management’s screw up, but when push comes to shove, you can reschedule your procedure, while your coworker cannot change the date of the field trip they’ve committed too. You become the a-hole if you push the claim that a scheduled medical procedure trumps your colleague’s PTO request. [/quote]

Why does she need to be a sourpuss vs l. standing up for herself that once it was approved she made plans for a medical procedure and she needs to keep those plans? It never ceases to amaze me how so many people on DCUM tell women to disappear when most people here claim to be feminists desiring equality, but then so much of the advice translates to you're not equal, your needs and wants are less important than everyone else's as soon as they are the least bit inconvenient.[/quote]
Because the thread title is framed as “PTO sick vs trip” and not “Can management rescind PTO approval.” It is implied that OP thinks their PTO should be prioritized. And the OP never states their gender, only the female coworker who requested PTO for a field trip.

Management is clearly in the wrong here, and should never have let the employees “figure it out.” Both employees should push back that HE figure it out, as it’s his job. How would he handle the situation if both employees had an emergency on the same day? Proceed with that plan.

The way OP framed the thread title, it seems like they’re trying to throw field trip mom under the bus, though, which is the part I’d err against. [/quote]
