Nothing exposes a short-staffed workplace faster than someone trying to take a vacation.
A worker on Reddit’s r/antiwork shared the PTO drama that unfolded after they gave months of notice for an international family trip. What seemed like a routine scheduling issue quickly turned into stress from management and a realization that the office might be relying a little too heavily on one employee.
Maybe the solution isn’t canceling someone’s vacation, but finally hiring enough people to cover one.
