Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : So relatively recently I've taken on a management position with a larger company. One of my responsibilities is scheduling and handling my departments vacation requests. I told everyone November first I wanted all December time off approved in advance, obviously it's a popular season to take off and I don't feel like juggling schedules all month. This seemed well received and understood until last week when a girl abruptly told me she needed time off. At first she just said it was to spend time with her family, but I told her up front its probably not happening, and seeing were closed for 3 days anyways she'd still have some time off. Fast forward to today and she asks again, I say no and then 2 hours later there's no a sob story about her dying grandma. Thing is NOBODY can cover said time except myself, and I've already bought flight tickets back home. She calls me an asshole and heartless and storms off. So am I the asshole here?
