Picture this: you've booked your holiday weeks in advance, and suddenly, a new colleague demands you give up your time off for her. 😒 That's exactly what happened to a 31-year-old woman in the UK, who works for her local council doing rehab for people recently discharged from the hospital. The holiday booking system at her workplace is first come, first served, and she had her week off planned well in advance. But when a colleague with kids asked her to give up her week, things took a dramatic turn. 😱
