Authorized & approved is just that, tell them you're suing for unlawful termination. Then sue them for 3-5 times your yearly salary, laugh all the way to the bank & get a new job...you'll have enough money to tide you over til you find another one. Good luck OP!

The boss is always right, even if he's wrong, he's always right. That's why he's the boss and you're the employee, or were the employee. Congratulations on getting hitched, though.

fyl, hit them with a lawsuit. also hope you find a job where your superiors aren't total dumbasses

You're better off not working for such a disorganized company in the first place. Enjoy the two years of unemployment you'll get.

Just walk in there and tell them off. I would have done it. Screw the crappy jobs get a new one.

Yes, the time off was approved, but does your company have a posted schedule for everyone? If you didn't check to verify your vacation was on it, you are fully eligible for termination. If the schedule shows you as being off, then you should be able to get your job back or sue... unless you are in a right-to-work state like Florida, then you are just screwed.

Congrats on getting married though :).

If your marriage can withstand the strain of your lost income, you likely have a permanent bond. Wouldn't you like to learn about your spouse's true character early on?

Well, take it as a honeymoon without having to worry about the job, until it's over. Jobs come and go, but a good woman is worth it right?

Did you invite co-workers to the wedding?
