Your vacation day is cancelled, your vacation day is cancelled..

Half my team just got a 2 week mandatory leave notice

this kind of crap really burns my arse...and one of the reasons I have convinced myself not to feel bad for currently being on FMLA for 2 months

I used to get outright denied my vacay requests for whatever BS reason someone could come up with at the time (even caught her put in for the same day for herself AFTER I submitted mine,,,,she had seniority and I swear it was just to screw me over). There were 2 I had to answer too....one has been replaced so it's not quite as bad.

Next time she wants to cancel your day remind her about this and tell her TS

Damm - I only get 10 vacation days a year that don't roll over! You can be sure I never have a situation where I haven't used them all.

If she is going to stick with the vacation-canceling bs, tell her (not ask) that you want a written note stating that any unused vacation days WILL be carried over to next year.
If she says no o that, tell her that "sorry, but the vacation days are not negotiable as you paid for a vacation rental with a "no refund" policy.

Unfortunately you will come cross some POS that think they're top dog when they're really just another runt in the litter.

My company requires that we submit vacation requests as soon as possible to try to avoid conflicts.
If she is ignoring the first come first serve rules that mot companies adopted, you may have a case for HR to look into.

Hopefully you were still able to enjoy some vacation!
