Hey, when it comes to taking time off and you’ve earned that time…you gotta do what you gotta do!

Because you deserve it, friends!

Read the story below and find out how a Reddit user got creative so they could get all the days off from work that they deserved.

Try to give me an occurrence for taking a vacation day, fine I won’t take it.

“This past Monday was of course the day after the Super Bowl.

My supervisor had the day off for his birthday cause he was planning on partying a lot for the Super Bowl and didn’t want to come into work on his birthday after celebrating it and the Super Bowl.

Well Monday I requested the next week off (20th-24th) and tried to get the lead man to sign off on it since my supervisor was not here.

Huh?

I come in Tuesday (Valentine’s Day) and find out because it was not signed by a supervisor.

If I take Monday the 20th off I will be given an occurrence for taking the day off and not notifying them one week prior, aka getting it signed on the 13th instead of the 14th…… even though I did not have a supervisor in……

However, the penalty for not showing up to work or calling out is an occurrence. So since he had not signed it yet, I asked for it back and threw it away.

How about this?

Grabbed a new sheet out and asked off the 21st-24th.

Now I am using 4 vacation days instead of 5 but I will not be here on the 20th, instead I will take the occurrence and be a no call no show.

I will still be getting a point but saving a vacation day.”

Using malicious compliance to get out of work is always a huge bonus!
