The World Is My Home
Quit my job when I was 24 and went traveling around the world for a year. Parents wanted me to buy a house with my savings but I spent it all on seeing the world instead.
So You Don't Want To Accept My Vacation Request?
I had put in vacation for 2 days to go back home for my grandpaβs bday 4 months in advance. Request gets accepted. 2 weeks before my vacation, there is a shift change and now my trip would take up a whole week of work. I inform my boss that Iβll be taking a whole week now, he tells me thatβs fine and to go update the vacation request. I go to HR to update my request, instead of just changing the date range the HR person tries to delete the request and make a new one. Only problem is we were in a vacation blackout time (no new requests get accepted for that month because of workload), so they end up canceling my vacation and then go βoh whoops looks like you canβt put in a new request too badβ. My boss gets pissed and has my back but HR isnβt budging, not the first time our department has been screwed over. I tell HR βIβm still going on vacation. Iβm not gonna miss out on seeing my family because you guys are incompetent. Fire me or donβt fire me, I donβt really care at this point.β My boss tells me to enjoy my time off and we can worry about stuff when I get back from break. Grandpaβs bday was great, had fun seeing the family and friends from back home. I come back after a week and Iβm still employed. Boss and bossβs boss explained to HR that Iβm the only one in our department whoβs qualified to do what I do, and if they want to lose a bunch of money getting a 3rd party contractor to replace me than thatβs their right to, theyβll just have to explain to the finance officer and general manager why weβd be bleeding money all of a sudden. I donβt work there anymore but I hope my old boss is doing well, he was a homie. Side story, that same boss took 2 weeks of vacation when the Shadowlands expansion of WoW released. Manβs got his priorities straight haha. When I asked him what did he tell HR and his boss he was like βThose people donβt need to know what I do or donβt do with my vacation time, Iβm taking my vacation time.βThe World Is My Home

Procrastination Is A Fine Art
For a serial procrastinator like me.....This is my whole life. Sometimes, I have to postpone those dealings with consequences too. It's an art as well as science.
What's Your Best Joke That Shouldn't Be Funny But It Is?
Why is the orphan bad at baseball? He canβt find home Whatβs a reverse exorcism? When the devil asks the priest to leave the childβs body What do you call a lonely 6 year old? A sandy hook survivor Whatβs the difference between Hitler and Michael Phelps? Michael Phelps can finish a race Have you heard the one about the child with aids? It never gets old What do you call a flat emo girl? A cutting board I should stop before bp bans me lolShow All 6 Upvotes

ThePowerglove reply
I never wound up working for them, but a summer camp offered me $2000 for the summer to lifeguard for them. The contract they wanted me to sign would've made me buy my lifeguarding shirts from them (they have to provide the first 2 uniforms), charge me for lunch regardless if I ate there during my break, they weren't going to pay me for mandatory training (which they're required to pay me for), and wanted me to work 30 extra hours, unpaid, over the course of the summer. When I factored in those extra hours and the unpaid training (20 hours), it turned out I would be making about $5.25/hr, which is well under minimum wage. I'd also be making about $500 less because of they would be charging me for lunch, which devalued my pay per hour even more. After analyzing everything, I called the Department of Labor, faxed them a copy of the contract, and the camp got slapped with a huge fine. Needless to say, I went elsewhere to work.
