[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could email her and remove the admin and let her know that is the week of American Thanksgiving and does she have any flexibility to switch to her original requested date or the following week. If it’s something outside of her control, and you’re ok covering for her on a holiday, then sure. But she 100% knew what she was doing and did it exactly this way to manipulate you. If it was an honest mistake and she got the dates wrong, she would have reached out to you directly, apologized for the mistake and the bad timing, knowing it’s a holiday for those of us in the US. She’s being super shady and if it were me, I would deny. [/quote]

Bad interpretation and bad advice. I hate the onus being put on her -- arguably any dates are flexible for vacation if you really think about it, but the dates I want for my vacation are for my vacation. Why not respect that and if you really have no choice, just deny it?

OP, please don't listen to some of the people here and think she didn't this manipulatively. I can easily just see her changing her mind about when she wanted to take a vacation, especially if she just wants some free days to relax. I think that is the more likely explanation compared to this weird, convoluted plot of trying to trick you.[/quote]
