I’ve had it with my coworker deliberately sabotaging my time off requests, I’m gonna threaten to quit over this

My department only has two closers.

The terrible union I’m in has a rule.

If someone has any amount of seniority over someone, they can just overrule their time-off requests.

Meet Pat…

I have a coworker named Pat who’s been in the department for a decade.

She takes sadistic pleasure in ruining all my plans.

She’s ruined doctors’ appointments, dentist appointments, car repair appointments, and vet appointments.

This has happened all this summer.

This man requested time off seven months ago, but was denied.

Next Saturday, I had a concert where I paid $700 for two tickets in the best possible spot.

I also paid for backstage passes. I requested the time off seven months ago.

You know what she did?

She demanded the manager schedule me that day three days after the schedule came out.

She said, “I have reservations at a nice restaurant that night.”

He said he’s completely done with Pat’s scheduling games.

I hate her. I hate her so much.

I just want to spend my birthday at the concert of my favorite artist.

She can’t allow that.

I texted the manager that he’s giving me the day off, or I’m calling out.

I am so totally done.

Let’s find out what others have to say about this.
