“I had asked for one Friday off. My boss told me no, she would not be willing to cover it and also said “You are not due for a vacation yet.” I asked 4 weeks in advance. I haven’t been on a vacation in three years. A few days later I smashed the heck out of my finger and thought I had broken it. I went to the ER and got an x-ray.
