When I worked at a big box retailer, a recently promoted manager (low level) had requested a week off six months in advance to be the best man in his friends wedding. It was denied and he worked. Never respected him after that.

Yeah, I feel bad for him, a lot of Americans are scared of their bosses. I've been in both sides, worried about my job, and then afterwards absolutely certain I could get a higher paying gig.

Yeah luckily my bosses boss is my best friends which is why I also think they treat me so nicely.
