What's vacation?

It's a word, not in the boss's vocabulary. Kinda like the word "bonus".

"my colleague reminds his boss why he required this leave to which his managers replied "where is your loyalty??!!"

I was working 2nd shift with a company when my Grandmother passed away. Sure enough this happened when we received a few jobs with a quick turn around time.

I had the production manager asking me to come into work the day of her funeral. He thought since the services were in the morning that it wouldn't conflict with my scheduled work time.
