    Guess that first job was still worse to work at.

    What is the point of having 4 weeks off if you can’t take them up on it? Might as well not exist.

    So 2 weeks > 0 weeks

      Why do you assume we couldn’t take them exactly? With our weird schedules I would end up getting 10 weeks off every year working for the same employer.

      She just decided to leave, called after the fact, was told that the quota was full for that week and she said “Well, it’s too late, I’m halfway across the world!”

        Lol thattts a very different story now. “I decided not to show up, I’m on vacation for a week as of today without notice” is a shit move and not just to the employer. “I’m on an airplane cause grandma died”, or “I’m in the hospital” – nothing wrong. “I decided to go to Tijuana see you bitches in a week” – I honestly don’t blame them for firing her.

        This is not the implication of the op

          The OP is exactly that, the boss saying “I can’t accept your time off” and the person already being on the plane. Then I shared my anecdote of someone doing basically the same thing.
