Woman Expects Coworker To Give Her Free PTO Days, Lashes Out When Rejected


And the coworker dramas continue. It seems as if they'll never end. While we feel sympathy for this woman and the hardships she's had to muddle through, on top of the exhaustion of raising kids, it's just a bit entitled to expect your coworker to offer up their vacation days that they'd been saving up for their own meaningful vacation. Definite guilt trip vibes in this story. For some more juicy coworker drama check out this vegan employee who told their coworker that they should eat their burger outside, and the escalation that ensued

Font - AITA for not giving my coworker my paid time off? My coworker (41F) has 3 kids and has worked at this company for 17 years. I (27F) am childless and have worked here 5 years. We get 18 paid vacation days per year and unlimited sick days if we provide proof. The vacation days are added to your balance on January 1st and accumulate if you don't use them. We can give them to someone else.

Font - My coworker regularly takes a day or two every month or so. This year, she used 10 of her days in January when her brother dies and another 4 when her daughter got sick. As a result, she only has 4 days for the rest of this year. I have been saving my days for a long vacation and have 44 days, so about 2 months worth saved up. My coworker's kids want her to take them on a two week vacation. The place they want to go is in our country but pretty far away so 4 days won't be enough. She want

Font - RSelkirk1 • 15h NTA. I've seen this sort of scenario in the workplaces a number of times (along with shared experiences from others online). You're right, no she couldn't help taking time off for the funeral and her daughter being sick, BUT, her life situation is not something to be burdened onto you. The whole 'I need the days off more than you because I have children' is an awful guilt trip tactic - she chose to have children, she wasn't forced. She sounds like the type of parent who lo

Font - roonling • 15h NTA. Your vacation days are part of your remuneration package. She doesn't get access to yours just because she used hers up on things that weren't a fun vacation. If I were you, l'd be pretty pissed she's singled you out with the whole "its your fault" thing - are you literally the only other employee in the company? (Not that I think anyone has to donate their days, just trying to see her "logic"). Also don't feel guilty and think that you've got "enough" to give some awa
