Boss taking all annual leave over school holidays

[Sickofthissheeet]

Between me and my boss one of us has to be in to provide cover. We both have school aged children but mine are reception and pre school and hers are secondary.

she has emailed me to say that management have approved for her to take her holiday across august and Xmas and Easter and I can’t take those times off as need to cover. Explained that we would need to compromise as also need time off then and she’s said if I don’t cover it mean she won’t get to spend time with her children or see her extended family(?!)

AIBU to think this is really unfair? We both want the same times off but surely we have to divvy them up? She can’t just take them all?

Good for you! I hope your position is difficult to fill and that you enjoy your new job.

@disappearingfish no, there were so many issues that I had with her (which tie in with this general theme of being very selfish) and in the end I tried to resolve it, she denied it all (even though I had proof) and I just couldn’t be bothered. I got headhunted for another role which was also paying a lot more.

Excellent result OP. Let her get on with her life and put her firmly in your past. 🌹

Excellent result. She's shot herself in the foot then!

Awesome result! Good luck with new job x

@Sickofthissheeet just get your holiday booked before you start the new job. I have enjoyed booking mine before new job starts.
