It has been said that in this post-pandemic market, employees now hold the power. While many are using this flux to negotiate better benefits or even seek more significant positions, one Twitter user showed how the trend is far from universal.
Last week, the user named @PostOpPrincess shared how she requested time off for a very understandable reason– her wedding. Astoundingly, her request was denied.
“Guess who’s request off work got denied for their own wedding. PTO BABY. Prepare the others; I ain’t gonna be there,” the woman tweeted.
The user’s tweet gained over two hundred and forty thousand likes and set off a firestorm of horrifying time-off request tales.
