My manager gave me a choice: work unpaid overtime or miss a family wedding.
It was my sister's wedding in Chicago last month, and my boss said I could either stay late to finish a report or use my last vacation day. I used the day, and he gave me a terrible review for 'poor planning'. Has anyone else had a boss hold personal time against them like that?

That "poor planning" excuse is just a power move.

Actually I've seen it go both ways. Sometimes it really IS just bad planning, like a manager forgetting a major deadline. But you're right, other times it's totally a control thing. They wait until the last minute to make everyone scramble, so they feel important. The trick is telling which is which.
