Today, I lost my job for taking an unauthorized vacation. I just got married and requested time off for the wedding and honeymoon months ago; it was approved then. They forgot, and then got angry because I didn't remind them. I did remind them, the day before I left. FML

One word for you (lawyer) as in get one a sue their asses for wrongful termination

sounds like the call center i worked at for a whole 2 weeks...twice. Got sick during first time of training...they let me go cuz "i missed too much class". Gave me a second chance, I got sick cuz I'm pregnant...they fired me for good...for missing 1 day of class.

You could easily kick up shit for that, you're pregnant, that's discrimination. It's the same as choosing someone based on their looks or firing them for their ethnicity: they're not allowed to do that.

Fudge, that sucks... But if you have proof for your vacation being approved they have little to stand on. Take it to the court. Good luck!

Did you get the approval in writing? If so you have your job back.
