      I don’t really see how it’s abuse. You start working at a company, you enter an agreement. A very low profile contractual obligation “You work here, follow our policies and guidelines for this amount of money”. If you agree and sign to that agreement then you are expected to hold up your end of the bargain. If you don’t hold up your end, then the agreement has been broken. That’s how business works. If you don’t like the policies at a company, don’t work at a company. If you don’t like the money, don’t agree to it.

        Clearly! Lol Your message is literally “you’re not entitled to any personal time for whatever reason, no matter how much it means to you or how much in advance you ask for it, because I own you and me being petty is more important than your personal life”, all under the guise of a contract that can absolutely be arranged in time.

        You sound like the most inflexible, frigid, and arrogant managers out there who relish on making people miserable. You’re not a leader, you just want to feel like someone’s boss. You’re part of the problem.

        Unfortunately, if the business schedule is so rigidly defined that it cannot handle unexpected absences, then someone is clearly unqualified for the position of management.

        Signed, a former team manager, for a small team at that.

        We are trading time. You get my expertise and in return, I get money for that expertise. The company does incur the risk of building the infrastructure and all the debt that usually results. I understand that, which is why I show up on time, I pay attention to my work, and I give my best while I’m there. Time off is crucial because I have a life outside of work. I don’t give one flying fuck if your business fails if I have no equity, so that time off if precious to me, as the employee.
