Today, I got to explain to my co-worker again why I can't move my "vacation" so she can take hers when she wants. Apparently, in her mind, her seniority at the company trumps my due date. FML

sulitak tells us more.

1. It did take work to get pregnant. 2. I put in for my leave as soon as I found out. It has been on the schedule for 5 months already. 3. She is the SAME position as me, not my superior. She has just held a position at the company for longer. Though, even if it was a vacation for vacation thing, I would still have priority through our company's rules. Seniority get priority to a point. Low man on the totem pole can request days off, then it gets put on the calendar, everyone above them has a month to "override" those days. If it stands for a month with no objections, low man gets their vacation.

Tell her to **** off. It's crazy how people have no respect for others.

It's kinda disheartening that this comes from a woman...

Story of my life. For 11 years I used to work in a company where 2/3 of the staff were females. Apparently they believe the world revolves around them. Every single one of them.

Tell her that you can't hold the baby in so she can have her vacation

Just tell her she can take your vacation for you - she'll just love the labor pains of having your twins and then getting no sleep as they cry all day and night, needing double the diaper changes and feedings! ;-) Congratulations and enjoy your bundles of cuteness!

What a tit. Why is there always that one nut that has narcissist tendencies.... Shame man.... CONGRATS ON THE TWINS. Best of luck

that sucks, some people dont get how life works.

Congrats on your pregnancy, I certainly hope that the birth goes well and your co-worker learns to shut up.

From your profile, you already gave birth so congratulations on the boys!
