UGGGGH no vacation for me

oh well, maybe that's the point there "obligation and responsibility" - no room for complaints then- make the most next year my friend

Maybe this weekend, I will tell my girlfriend Iwillvisit my parents, but the truth, Iwill just sleep in a hotel by my self and soak in a hot tub.... well 1 day is not bad.

she thinks that that the 2 month surgery recovery I had few months ago is way too much, Plus I have so many responsibility to do this summer. I am not a regualr employee.

I will go overseas next year, Europe here I come!!! Finally a chance for vacation.

I am now saving one so can quit this industry soon, I need to buy a lot, turn it into an apartment and have people rent it. With that I can earn money and be lazy at the same time.

I have less chance for a vacation now cos I got promoted again, More work for sure. I have no life. Its all work, work work until I lost fatigue.

well she thinks my position is way too important, plus you know I just got promoted and she thinks that is too much, after asking 2 months medical leave. I dont want to lose this job you know, even if I hated it.

I very much agree with Tashh. Maybe if you talk to her she will let you have just a few days off, that's still better than nothing. I understand that you have a lot of responsibilities (and congratulations on getting promoted ) and you don't want to lose your job, but she should understand you. Even though many emploers seems to think they hire machines instead of humans... after this long hospital stay you would still need some rest. Take care of yourself.

That really woud be a tough decision to deal with. I really agree with @almond24, she probably hasn't spent time in the hospital herself to know how much it sucks. I understand from reading your comments on this discussion that you were in the hospital for two months, which is a lot of time to miss from work, BUT it was a special circumstance.. It wasn't something that could be put off or avoided. I believe it should have been considered as a "sick leave" and I personally think you should get a vacation leave. If I were you, I would talk to her and maybe work something out. You could say that you're aware that you missed a bit of time due to medical reasons and that you understand that was 2 months. Then, maybe you could ask her, if she would consider giving you a vacation, just maybe not as long as a regular normal one would be. Ask for a few days off instead of a week or two!!! I think that's what I would do in your situation. It's worth a shot asking and you never know she may say yes. Just ask her to consider letting you have a few days off!! I hope this helped a little and I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully you will get to enjoy you summer and get a few days to relax! Good luck :) Hopefully chat again in a future discussion!!

I was gone for 2 months, so I dont think she will let me have a 1 week vacation, she said that I shoulod be happy that I am highly paid. rules are different in my country though. she thinks my leave few months ago is enough,, so yeah no summer vacation for me

I think your company seems generous for letting you take medical leave with pay but still I think you still deserve for your vacation day at least half of it.

My boss is a woman.... I did say that but she thinks 2 months is too much, she just said better luck next time. things are different here..

this is an old discussion so I already moved on from this issue.
