That sucks

Well work denied funding the trip down, but I think 2-3 of us are still going to try to attend. What are good options for hotels on the cheap in the area?

A few that are semi-cheap that are super close. If you are willing to go farther afield (only 5-10 minutes driving) you get lots of really cheap options from local stuff to things like Comfort Inns and even a low cost Courtyard up on Trinity Mills. It's by the airport, so options are plentiful.

The Holiday Inn Express was good, but it seems availability is pretty much gone.

In fact, if someone wants to split, I have an open spot since @Dashrender bailed.

Not my fault - I was even willing to take PTO to come.. but was denied the time off.

Don’t blink it’ll be here soon.

@Dashrender WAT!! PTO is just that. With more than 2 weeks notice ANY company should honor a PTO request. While the hell are you working if they won't even let you take the time off that you want to take off. It's a job. They pay you for 8 hours a day, which IMHO doesn't give them the right to tell you when you can use granted PTO. Not coming down on you @Dashrender but if your company treats you this way, maybe it's time to look at other opportunities.

You offering?
Seriously - I generally get the time off I request. This is only the second time in 12 years I've been denied a specific time off I wanted off.
-
@Dashrender Well that's not so bad then.

My thoughts exactly.
Boss is traveling outside the country and wants me here to cover tech. I get it.. sucks, sure, but I get it.
The same thing happened last time too - the difference last time I had submitted my request 9 months before she knew she was leaving the country - I was pretty pissed at the time.

@Dashrender just leave one of these at the office and come anyways :winking_face:
