I submitted a PTO request over a month before my planned summer vacation, but my manager turned it down because they'll be away on a cruise during the same week. Another coworker is already scheduled to be off, so they said there's no one left to cover my shifts. My trip is already booked and paid for. What should I do?
Americans' primary motivation for going out to eat is not to have good food and conversation. It's to be pampered by servers, so that finally they can feel important. It's a power trip.
