[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is an example of why middle managers like a manager or a director are truly useless positions. Are they doing their job? Ok cool. Have their earned their PTO? Ok cool.

Do they need their nosy manager to know what they spend their paid time off on? No. MYB and STFU OP. You aren’t the boss of their life. [/quote]

Um, that's not how management works. You have to balance the employee vacation time to ensure that you can continue to get work done during busy seasons. My business season is March/April. I would need workers during that time so could not have multiple people taking out the 1st week of April. It would be detrimental to business. I'd imagine accounting firms are much the same way.

So no, part of responsible employment is not dumping work on employees when the office is known to be busy. [/quote]

This isn’t how management works. At all. Unless you’re a nosy micromanager and a shitty manager.

An employee wants a week off. Why does the graduation matter? If they have the time off, they have the time off. Either deny it or let them have it. But to complain that they want a week off for a graduation is stupid. How do you know if they have family in town? Or if they’re giving their kid a family trip after the ceremony?

Be their boss at work. Not their boss for their life. [/quote]

Your comment doesn't make any sense. I would not grant vacation during our peak season except for emergency. I don't care why someone is asking. That is pretty easy to understand. [/quote]
