TopicWhy do managers care if you take time off?

One of my senior accountants put in a PTO request this week to take off every MWF at 3:30 for the next three weeks, so she can go to her son's high school baseball games.

That is a totally reasonable request. I want her to go to her kids games. Last Friday when she asked if she could leave early to go her son's game I ended up working for 13 hours so she could do so because I want all the people in my department to have loves. But like I needed that request a month ago. I have deadlines and schedules set up. And when she puts in a last minute PTO request I either deny it and look like an asshole or have to put in a bunch of my extra time to make it work while still hitting deadlines. I don't give a flying fuck about the company but this does fuck me over.

If she would have just let me know in advance I could have scheduled accordingly and given her the time off without her taking any PTO. Instead I'm going to have to be a dick and tell her she gets one game a week.
