The manager informed the father that his daughter's vacation was not granted and if she took off without authorisation, it would be considered as “voluntary resignation.”

At one point, the father is seen as saying, “You are forcing a kid to resign for vacation she has no control over, and I'm making this hard?”

Here's how netizens reacted to the conversation

Some of them slammed the father for interfering a lot in his child's life.

“1. A 10-dayvacationis not trivial. A small business losing a worker for 10 days is very significant. People put in these kinds of requests MONTHS in advance. 2. Why are you texting your daughter’s manager for her?” wrote a Threads user.

“Sorry, but you were out of line. Your daughter accepted a job and told the hiring manager there were no upcoming trips. Then you scheduled a trip for your daughter without checking her schedule. Then you jumped the chain of command and embarrassed yourself and your child in front of her boss. The only way she can comfortably continue this job is if you stop calling and she forgoes the trip. If you think the trip you planned is more important than her job, then just tell her to quit," commented another user.

“While I feel for your daughter, can I ask why, before booking the trip you didn’t have her check with her employer as to whether or not the time off would be approved? Do you book trips before validating that you can actually get the time off work and that you aren’t leaving your employer and peers short-handed? As the parent, you’ve put the employer in a bad situation and have taught your daughter how to be an irresponsible employee. It’s not just the employer you hurt, but also her coworkers," stated a third user.

However, some of them felt that the actions of the father were not wrong and that the manager was too “strict” and “unreasonable”.

“There’s just absolutely no reason why your business is so understaffed that you’re relying on a 16-year-old to work. It's ridiculous, let the girl take her vacation and come back, this is another major reason why so much of the younger generation has no desire to work. there is no work-life balance even at 16 years old," wrote a user.

"Your daughter is 16 and should be able to participate in a family vacation!! The boss is just an a** that doesn’t wanna do his job. He needs her more than he’s letting on but doesn’t wanna have to deal with the paperwork that comes with firing her and knows she will get more benefits that way! I'd say don’t let her resign, let her let HIM fire her and she’ll reap more benefits that way!” another said.
