A woman asked for ten days off work three weeks ahead of time so she could take a family trip. But her boss said no to the request. Because her father didn’t agree with the choice, he stepped in and talked to the boss to get more information and ask them to change their mind. Keep reading to find out what came next.

The people who shared the pictures on Instagram’s threads wrote, “Local Pizza Joint refused my 16-year-old daughter leave with three weeks warning and tried to force her to quit, I texted the boss…” as the captions.

When the woman’s father asked her boss why they were “requesting her resignation when she’s not trying to quit,” the boss agreed. The boss told her that since her request for time off was turned down, she could “voluntarily resign.” “We’ve enjoyed having her with us, and we will be sad to see her go,” they said.

In reaction, the dad said he was upset that a “10-day family vacation can’t be approved with 3.5 weeks notice.” He also said that his daughter was ready to work extra hours before and after her trip to help her coworkers out, hoping that the boss would “reconsider” the choice.

The boss took her up on her offer, but she told her that working extra hours wouldn’t help because she was off for 14 days.

I get that you know she doesn’t have a choice and that you could let her go and come back, but you won’t. The father was angry and said, “You have all the power here, and you’re choosing to go this way.”

In response, the boss praised the woman’s job and asked what the father was trying to achieve by “pressuring” them.

The dad replied, “You’re making a kid quit for a vacation she can’t change, and I’m making this hard?” He also said, “She’ll definitely find another job, and I’m not worried about her losing the job.”

“Stop it.” “No one is being forced to do anything, and I’m done with this conversation,” the boss called a stop.

What people said about the boss’s talk with the father: “I got fired for this as a teenager in 2008” I got a new job right after my trip. “In any case, you don’t want to work for that person,” someone said.

Someone else said, “People often take time off without getting paid.” She’s sixteen. She also can’t know that trips will be planned when she starts working. This owner or boss doesn’t seem to care about anything that’s going on in life, and it sounds like they are stressed out and doesn’t see their workers as people. It’s likely that this pizza place pays less than the minimum wage as well. At that point, bosses wonder why workers aren’t going the extra mile to do 200%. “Sighing my head off.”

“Make a wrongful termination claim for crap like this all the time, even in states where employees can quit at any time.” The lawyers for most businesses will tell the business it has to pay the deductible as a deal rather than going to court, which costs the business and the insurance company more money. “After she gets back, she can just get her new job,” said a third.

A fourth wrote, “I’m with the kids here.” She’s such a child, and the boss is taking on way too much! It’s clear that this boss doesn’t know how to run his store with a full team. It’s very clear because having one person down makes things harder for them. This sounds like a problem with the boss, not her. He had almost a month to get ready, which she gave him. What if he did his job better? Maybe he’d have a full staff for trips like this one. It’s not much she wants.

“You are completely wrong.” You’re not her boss, so I’m surprised her boss even talked to you. And giving three weeks’ notice to skip two weeks isn’t very much. “Okay, so the boss isn’t the problem here,” wrote a fifth.

“Three weeks notice?” asked the sixth. Yes, plans usually come out once a month. No, you did not give enough notice. “Are you sure you’re an adult who has worked before?”
