I explained to her that I requested this day off months ago for a specific reason and I really wasn't willing to change it. She got pretty upset with me claiming I care more about video games than family and whatnot. I honestly don't really care about her not being able to travel because I feel like... I honestly don't care about her. I honestly don't give a shit about her.

I honestly don't really care about her not being able to travel because I feel like if this was an important date, then you would have requested off early like I did. Anyways, I firmly told her no. That's how priorities work. Anyways, I firmly told her no, but she told some of my other coworkers and they are all pissed at me and calling me an a-hole for not giving up the date. Am I the asshole?

Okay. Oh, man.
Okay. Oh, man.
I'm sorry. I guess some people might travel to see their moms. I'll call my mom. I haven't taken a plane for Mother's Day. No, I have not either. But I'll send an edible arrangement. Whoa. Whoa.

This is one of those where we work in a sphere where it's hard to like, I understand jobs work differently, but in our job, it's not like, oh, someone else is taking PTO, so I can't, so I'm asking for them to switch it out. The idea of like asking someone to, to take away their own PTO to give it to me. That's crazy. I just wouldn't ever operate that way. I'd be like, oh, I can't.

Oh, that's not an option for me. If you're asking somebody to give you their PTO, you're basically asking them to pay them.

They need to go to work so that you can, because someone needs to be in. So like, can I take PTO so that, instead of you taking PTO. It's the equivalent of like, cover my shift, or like, yeah. Then, oh man, that is tough. Because if I'm in the Legend of Zelda guy's seat, that's my time. It's my work hour, I decide that, right?

If PTO is PTO, you can't really say, well, my PTO is because of what I'm doing with my PTO. I deserve it more, because he kind of has the point, he's like, I took it off months ago. Maybe this guy's mom stinks.

Yeah, I mean, of course the system is the ultimate bad guy here. The fact that people can't take time off to see their families is a bigger issue. But in regards to the situation at hand, this guy's not an asshole. He took PTO off... It's like that's the situation. Sucks for her. The big thing about weaponizing the reason for his PTO is like something that an employer could never do.
