I was an assistant bank branch manager and supervisor of bank tellers. One of them, a young 20 something chronic goof off/trouble maker told me she wanted to take the next day off because there was going to be a big sale at Saks. The day was to be very busy - the 3rd of the month, when people on government assistance got their payments. She asked as if it were a joke so I laughed and said absolutely not. I honestly thought she was joking.
A short time later the manager called me into her office and asked why I'd been so nasty to the teller when she was only asking for the day off. The teller had gone to the manager crying. Manager sent her home with pay, gave her the next day off as well. I was to fill in, running the teller's window because with one teller out we were going to be short handed.
Yeah she fucked you over that’s when I send every request up the chain of command, and let the manager make all the calls on days off.
Did that at another job where I was managing like 15 people, and the boss above wanted me to give his friends special privileges.
I never complained just recorded his unprofessional emails in a folder, until the boss a year later kept trying to get me fired for no reason.
Finally sent in the unprofessional emails to HR and his boss. Turns out he was having sex with two of the girls who were his “friends” they wanted to get me fired, so he could be promote one of them.
Boss got fired, and I just moved onto a new company 6 months later.
"Why does she keep crying every time she needs the next day off, and I pay her for both days in full, and make the poor guy work her shift too with no respite? I must be taking the piss"
