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.
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.
So a fellow employee should also not, I think. Yeah. Yeah, he went around telling everyone. That is his fault. Gave everyone the ammunition. Yeah, right.
Yeah, I remember working. You don't tell people you play video games.
And a tricycle. When people ask, it's like, oh, I'm taking the day off. It's like, why? It's like, you don't want to know. It's like Saving the Princess.
This came out early 2023. Tears of the Kingdom. I get it. Yeah, dude. Tim took the day off for Tears of the Kingdom. I think a lot of people talk about it.
Damn, I'm sorry. I don't know him. I'm so sorry. I remember Courtney and I had a trip. I wouldn't have done anything about this, right? But we had like a big trip planned. She wanted me to play her visual novel. And I wouldn't do it for five minutes. But we had a big international trip planned.
And I remember like having the date set for it and then being like, oh shit, when does Tears of the Kingdom come out? And I was like, I'm obviously not gonna change our trip. Obviously I'm not gonna change the trip. I'm obviously not gonna change it, but I was definitely relieved when I was like, okay, good, the game comes out once we're back home. I can download it.
I was definitely like, fuck, that's gonna suck if we're out of the game.
Yeah, it's really cool. Oh, it's gonna be a bike out of 15 wheels. Yeah. I could be doing that. Comments on this. Not the asshole, Mother's Day is listed on a calendar every year even though the actual date may vary. Poor planning on their part does not equal an emergency on yours. You planned, you deserve it, and it doesn't matter why you booked it off.
For what it's worth, I've booked vacation around video game releases and it's amazing. Enjoy your time off and your game. Someone else said, not the asshole. Same goes for any other holiday. I'm child free, my choice, and people always seem to think that means I should be the one working holidays. It doesn't matter if the reason you have the day off is for a video game. It's your day off.
Enjoy it. Lastly, someone said, not the asshole. It doesn't matter why you took the PTO. It was approved and it is yours to take. This is a management problem, not your problem. Agreed. That's fix-it management.
Gamers together strong. Well, if you go to Reddit, four players. If you go to Reddit, you're gonna have gamers.
