Workplace Need to Vent about my Boss and vacation time!

[jenniletv]

UPDATE...

Just felt I should let you all know that I did talk to him. Yesterday I sat down with him and just explained to him what my plans were for next week and if the need arose for him to call me and I was in town I would do my best to find a sitter for my son and come in but to not expect me to be in right away. I would need more than 5 minutes notice in other words. And I informed him that while I was out of town I would have access to the internet, fax machine, copier, printer, etc if something needed to be done. I would also periodically check my email while I was out too. He seemed really okay with this and advised me that he felt 95% sure that he would not need me and would not need to call.

glad everything work out for you Jenn. I still think days off should be days off completely, but it sounds like he had you in a Catch 22, if you didn't use the days, you would lose them. I guess lesson learned for next year, try and take them off before so you don't end up in that position again. Hope you had a great holiday and the wedding went well.
