Well, rather than understanding that, her coworker was furious and accused her of being selfish. She got blamed for not being accommodating of the “once-in-a-lifetime event.”
Some of their other colleagues have heard about the situation and gotten involved as well. They agree with her coworker and think she should be more flexible, given her time off isn’t for “special circumstances,” such as a wedding.
“I feel bad, but I also planned this trip far in advance, and it’s important to me,” she vented.
Still, with everyone in her office against her on this, she’s not sure if refusing to hand over her vacation days truly is a jerky move.
Is it her coworker’s fault for not submitting the time off request earlier? How would you handle this if you were in her shoes?
