Today, I asked for time off from work for my wedding and honeymoon. A grand total of three days. My boss made a face like he'd sucked on rancid toes and asked me if I was stupid. Awesome. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my time off request was rejected, and my boss promptly took the day off himself, claiming he has people coming to work on his house. We work from home. The day in question is my 5-year wedding anniversary. FML
Today, I found out that I have to reschedule my upcoming honeymoon because my office will be understaffed that week, due to the boss going on vacation right after my wedding. Oh, yeah, and he's in my bridal party. FML
Today, I lost my job for taking an unauthorized vacation. I just got married and requested time off for the wedding and honeymoon months ago; it was approved then. They forgot, and then got angry because I didn't remind them. I did remind them, the day before I left. FML
Today, my manager called me to demand I come in to fix his computer, unpaid of course, since I have no overtime rate, then threatened to fire me when I said, "No chance." I’m 1000 miles away on my honeymoon and he knows this, since he granted my holiday request and congratulated me on the wedding. FML
Today, my boss tried to cancel my leave because he’s “taking a mental health break next week and really needs me in the office.” I’m getting married next week and going on a two-week, non-refundable honeymoon, but he needs a mental health break. I had to get HR involved. Snowflake lazy prick. FML
Today, I asked my bosses for three weeks off in July to go on a much-needed vacation. Their response was to fire me on the spot. My bosses are my aunt and uncle. FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me. FML
Today, after realizing I had 130 unused vacation hours, I requested two weeks off. My vacation time was denied, but my boss still gave me the time off. So I don't have work for 2 weeks, all unpaid. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a few days off next week, because my grandmother passed away yesterday and I'll need to travel to attend the funeral. His response: "She's dead, you're not. You want time off, then quit." FML

Maybe she is the best employee there and the boss simply can't do without her.

Three days isn't so bad...what does a holiday do for him just that day off?

Unless you've been off for many days already this year (which I doubt) your boss is being a complete tight arse. Hope things work out Op!

Your boss is a little shit. How do you tell someone they can't take off for their own wedding. I would just not show up anyway.

Sounds like he's contracted a severe case of PHB (pointy haired boss) Syndrome... Sadly there is no cute for this tragic lifelong illness. If scientists discover a cure, I recommend taking a collection around the office for his lobotomy. No doubt he will be very grateful for this thoughtful gesture. Oh, FYL, OP, congrats on the wedding, though!

When I asked for the weekend off for my wedding my boss said, "It doesn't take two days to get married." I thought she was joking so I laughed, but she wasn't. She was one of the people who drove us both back to college so we wouldn't have to work for exploitive asshats for the rest of our lives. My husband worked in another store of theirs and was turned down time off for his grandmothers funeral. He had to beg to get two hours off. They later went divorced and lost two businesses. He still owns a fast food joint in the city I teach in and I always warn my students from applying there and eating there because they also got a few surprise health department inspections when someone reported them for things like serving food from the trash (true, I dropped a roll on the floor and threw it away and he took it out of the trash, wiped it on his apron and forced me to serve it), not holding meat at proper temps, and cross contamination. The HD will investigate without giving names, thank goodness. People like that aren't worth your time and are great jobs to get out of.

Ask again straight face and say do I get my 3 days or do I need to put in my 2 weeks or should I go right now?
