People argue too much. “You approved it. It’s booked. I’m going.” Discussion ends.

If 1 person is irreplaceable for 1 week, the company is mismanaged. Period.

Not a problem; I'll cancel my vacation for a $10,000 bonus, post tax.

Unless you are planning to pay me the entire cost of what it would be for me to rebook everything then absolutely not.

Part of a manager’s job is to make it work around what else is happening.

“So do I send Finance an invoice directly for my out of pocket losses and the expense differentials for the higher travel costs of the new bookings; or does that go to you first?”

as a manager part of your job is to be the 💩 umbrella for your staff, keep them protected and they will do the same for you

In Poland we can have our PTO cancelled, but the employer MUST repay all the money spent on bookings. So usually no one will cancel it for you unless it’s a real emergency lol

I have a rule for my people, once I approve, I don't unapprove unless they request OR off chance it's an HR/violation of company policy thing (that's extremely rare). Take your PTO and enjoy yourself

I’ve never said no to a PTO request. I can’t believe people actually do that.

I once asked a boss for time off 6 months in advance. Told him it was trip to Paris/London. He said it was too far in advance to approve. I booked and kept reminding him. When time came he seemed annoyed like I didnt give him enough notice. I had receipts of the convos from the months of reminders and me telling him. He kept saying he had to get it approved from the higher ups. I told the higher ups and they said it was fine and hope I enjoy the trip. It was never a problem, he just didn't want to cover my work. Which I had done and all he had to do was check on items.

Genuinely asking, is it not a thing in the US that if employer needs to cancel your approved vacation time they are legally obligated to pay all your expenses connected to the vacation they are canceling ?

Shieldmaiden :
why are managers so stupid? if you deny people their well-earned vacation, especially when they spent money in advance, you're encouraging your employees to give you zero notice and just call in sick.

When I first started at my company, the trainer told us the wrong process for PTO requests. I followed it, it was approved. Then the boss realized it was during our busiest week of the year. He showed me the proper process then told me to have a good vacation despite me offering to reschedule. Things like this are ridiculous!

When I used to manage in retail. I would fight tooth and nail for my employees. All my employees and I quit when senior management asked me to fire all my employees so that we can hire people for a less wage.
