Today, my boss joined me on my vacation, to "make sure I actually went". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, despite having my 5-day-leave approved 2 months ago, my boss demanded I return to work in the middle of it. Why? She wants to go on a vacation and no one else is available at such short notice. FML

Sneaky sneaky...
Today, while on vacation, I found out that my boyfriend moved out. He had claimed that he couldn't come with me because his boss messed up his time off request, and for the last two days he said he'd been "cleaning". FML

Today, my boss took back my week off because he wants to take a spontaneous Caribbean vacation with his wife, which is "clearly more important" than what I was going to do. I needed that time off so I could be with my Dad in hospice. FML

Piss poor management
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML

Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

Fancy seeing you here
Today, I finally made it to my hotel in Florida, only to discover my boss was holidaying in the same hotel with her wife. So far I’ve run into them three times, at the pool, in the bar, and in the gym, and every time she ends up asking me work related questions. It's like I never left the office. FML

Control
Today, my boss continued to orchestrate behind the scenes with my colleagues to make me look bad for her lack of organization. Then she showed up 10 minutes late to a meeting, shared that she needed a vacation, and realized that she needed to micromanage less. I've been asking her to make that change for months. FML

Under pressure
Today, my colleague came back from vacation so I no longer have to do her job on top of mine. My bosses saw this as the perfect occasion to barge into my office every five minutes to hand me tasks. When I asked for a ten-minute break to do a task that needed concentration, they barged in again after five minutes. FML

Today, I returned to work after a much-needed vacation. I got a lot of weird stares from my co-workers, and my boss eventually came over and told me to go home. Why? My work week starts tomorrow, not today. FML

Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML

There's obviously more to the story run the op is saying.

If you went abroad, steal and lose his passport on the last day. At least you'll get some time off from them, even if it's at work.

Yeah and then OP can get arrested for theft of government property. OP needs to contact HR and do what I did: file a harassment claim. Following somebody on vacation is just wrong and creepy.

He hitting on you or what?!?

This happened to me once. I ended up calling HR and filing a harassment claim. He got fired less than a week later. This guy had this obscenely huge crush on me and I eventually had to file a restraining order (which is still active 3 years later).

I would like to say "you deserved it" because bosses only do that to their hardest working employees. Take a break!

If I had to take a guess - this isn't so much about the time off, but to make sure OP ACTUALLY takes a vacation, and doesn't simply work right through it. A lot of studies have shown that vacations increase productivity, so people who refuse to ever go on one tend to have their work suffer as a result of it. If the OP's performance was going downhill at work and they were getting stressed out, then I can see why the boss would make sure they were REALLY going to take some time to relax and destress.

You know, I never thought of it that way. You make an excellent point, way to go for thinking outside the box.

I'd be looking for a new job. What you do on your off time is none of your boss's business.
