How can I get an employee to stop canceling vacation days and actually take them?

Sit his rear down and say NO MORE, next time he pulls the stunt , send him home. You're the boss, not him, don't let him run the place. Sounds like he's never been told NO, and even in his private life he does as he wishes without regard to those around him.

Tell him it's unacceptable, he asked for the time off, you granted it, and called his backup in, his backup is entitled to be paid for coming in, one of the 2 has to go home, Mr Rude goes home, keep sending him home maybe he'll get the message. BE THE BOSS! Trekincat 53 months ago.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
