Fk them: Is it stupid of me to quit because my vacation was denied?

-Vacation is September 4th thinking of quiting September 3rd.

-60k/yr job

-Also work a casual job

-Put in vacation of February of this year.

-Sited staffing problems as reason since another one of my coworkers is going at the same time. They apparently put theirs in first.

- I will be jobless after vacation probably spending around 16k (going to Vegas).

What do we think boyos?

Voluntarily becoming jobless and proceeding to drop $16k you don't really have to blow anymore right away? Plus no backup plan in place at all, either? Yeah, sounds like great plan, bro.

If you do it’ll likely be either one of the best or most stupid decisions you have made so far.

Probably best of not being a wage slave in the long term though. Not if you don’t like the whole vacation booking thing and having to ask permission for things you want to do.

NGL at age 28 and making only $60k/yr, I'd just start looking for another job that pays more. Keep working in the meantime so you can use your current pay as leverage for negotiating salary. In some areas that's poverty level. In other areas, it's not as solid as it used to be. Make it a goal to find one before September, and see if you can get a couple weeks off between jobs after you put in the 2 weeks notice, so you can still have your vacation.

Your OP says vague things, but if you think $16k is enough of an emergency fund to go jobless and hope for the best, I'd say you've either got high confidence in a quick turn-around for finding something else, or you haven't truly thought this through.

EDIT:

Meant to add that I wanted off for a week or 2 in June, but too many people on my team are already taking off, plus some layoffs happened short notice - I'd almost feel guilty about doing it in general at this point. Aiming for maybe late July or early August at this point, for such a thing.

Maybe not all of us want a high paying job?

yeah but there are better ways to handle a situation like that than just up and quitting before spending your life savings on a vacation trip with no backup plan lined up.

I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy, but I have literally never been in a position to prioritize vacation trips to the point where I could afford to just quit my job if they didn't like it.

Not to sound rude either OP, but you might wanna consider asking further in advance. 6 months might sound pretty far out, but there are jobs that take vacation requests up to an entire damn year out. Food for thought.

I also doubt he has his priorities really sorted if 16k in Vegas is the best idea for a vacation he has.

I just saw the part about Vegas. Yeah, that makes it even worse.


$16k on Vegas... that's like the most cliche vacation imaginable, imo. I'd rather go explore a random city in my state while crashing in hotels for a week for like $2k than blow $16k on Vegas, srs.

If there is any degree of legitimacy to their reasoning, I would sleep on it.

If not, quit. For more reasons than one, your vacation denial being the least important.

Also, the **** is the point of spending 16K in Vegas?

Just burn it.

If they have two people wanting the same week off, that is their problem, not yours. They need to have enough people working there.

If this was me, I would put in my two weeks at the end of August, but not take the trip to Vegas and live off that money instead while I look for another job.

Sounds like a great plan to be jobless at the same time you blow $16,000 in Vegas.

At least you'll have plenty of vacation time.

16k in Vegas? Thats too much and you can have fun for way cheaper.

Just find a new job that starts after your vacation if you're dead set on going.

Or tell your company that you simply can't not go, you've already dropped thousands on tickets and deposits, and try to get them to relinquish.
