Not sure if this is the right place but...also new to Reddit, but I needed to vent, sorry for the wall of text. My manager, oversees 16ish people, completely forgot that I had PTO one morning last week. We had spoken about it the day before too because I had to change the time of my doctor's appointment. The morning of my appointment I wasn't going to clock in till I got back. However, when I got back I found out that he had assigned me to cover part of someone's shift, call center, because they were out sick. I had him asking (we use microsoft teams) me to call him in our full group chat, and also DMing me in the same chat we used to discuss the time of my appointment changing and his approval, where I was. The person who oversees that the phones are covered messaging me telling me I was to be on phones and my managers boss texting me asking where I was. I finally called my manager, video call and I recorded that too, and reminded him that we had spoken about the time of my appointment being in the morning. He then asked me to text him reminders everytime I have PTO now. Well, he's about to learn. I have 2 more days coming up in April and I will clock in for 15 minutes each day to send that reminder text. If I have to do his job of reminding him I am off when there are multiple ways for him to remember then they can pay me.
