OP’s manager approved everyone’s vacation ahead of time, and all of the employees wanted to combine their weekend with their leave from work to have a long vacation. After awarding everyone holidays, the manager rescheduled everyone’s duties, and one of OP’s coworkers’ weekend was modified. She wasn’t accessible that weekend because she had already arranged her travels. OP’s absence from work was also allowed for those days, and their supervisor had planned his overseas trip for the same dates. Their manager requested that one of them, OP or a coworker, rearrange their schedules and come to work for the following shift. OP did not want to set a precedent that would allow employers to change their approved leave to suspend, so they both declined to come because it was solely their boss’ responsibility.
