I think "the needs of the business" include firing managers who make stupid decisions.

Fuck that. At my job we don't deny vacations. We make sure that no one is too important to take a vacation. Simple. Plus we let people known, "your PTO is yours, you figure out when to take it"

If the company is hurting, the CEO asks kindly during our all hands to take PTO if you can to help the company not acres during the tough period.

lol there's no way the poster actually fired anyone. If there's one thing I've learned its that most business don't like to fire people, its too expensive. They just talk a big game, do write-ups and generally try to use passive-aggression to present an air of "you're on thin ice!" Odds are, if your employer needs you THAT badly to work your shifts, they're not gonna want to train an all new person to replace you.

I had an employer do this to me. I requested to use most of my two weeks vacation time in one vacation. They declined it, telling me that it should be used for 3 and 4 day weekend trips on occasion, and not all at once. Then they were shocked that I didn't cancel my vacation.

My PTO notices are not a request. The "business" may request that I change my plans and I'll consider it but my PTO notices ARE NOT a requests.

Apparently the work needs slaves.

"The business needs you here, so I am going to fire you"

Fool played himself and cant even see the humilation
