[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh dear god, OP. You'll manage for one whole week without two people. Can you imagine your boss telling you that you can't go to your kid's graduation? That's pretty heartless.

Signed, Gen X who's sick of everyone's sh*t[/quote]

This. Another Gen X, also sick af of everyone.[/quote]

Gen X fed manager here, in 100% agreement. FFS, people should be able to attend the life milestones of their loved ones. And they are entitled to their leave, it is compensation just like salary. I'm sure everyone in the office will survive a busy week in May.

If you aren't such a PITA about taking EARNED time off, people will talk to you about their plans in advance instead of trying to make them a fait accompli. This is an environment you've created. [/quote]

+1000 - signed, yet another Gen Xer.

Sounds like your employee was being proactive about arranging for coverage of her work while she will be gone - that's a good thing!
I truly can't imagine any of my managers in my career telling me I can't take vacation time.  (With two specific events as exceptions, but I knew about those for more than a year in advance.)

Don't be a jerk.  Weddings and graduations are big deals.  You'll survive the week.[/quote]
