@4. Just because its called a vacation request doesn't necessarily mean you are taking a vacation. I was going out of state for my grandfathers funeral. My manager approved the time off. The pink slip came from a little higher up apparently. I'm sure it was just a matter of bad timing in the end but either way I can't say that I ever saw it going down that way.

I hope you all actually read the follow up OP posted. OP requested some time off (vacation time) because of a funeral.

And how do you think they'll make up for the funds of said vacation now that OP is unemployed?
