Is it normal angry i was not told an employee was going on vacation

So one of our best part time accountants wanted to use her vacation and be off this week so she could make big bucks on a week long job for one of our sister companies out of state. My partner ok'ed it without telling me.It sucks not having her here, she does three people's work when she is here. I called the employee and ripped into her, telling her she better get back in here asap ! she seemed to confused I was angry at her.The employee plans to make up said hours but I don't Know if I want that . I think it's unfair she gets to do whatever she wants.

    Well, I'm glad I don't work for you, verbally abusing an employee for doing something she had permission for from your business partner.

    You're the confused one, you can't even write a post that makes sense: for example, how does she manage to work so hard when she's "not here"?

    If I were her I'd take my hard work and skills elsewhere

    Why would you risk losing, "one of our best part time accountants" by having a childish hissy fit? You don't sound like a very good employer, no matter how much you pay.

    If she has vacation time, and chooses to use it then it's none of your Goddamn business what she does on her fucking vacation. You're a real piece of shit. If that girl does the work of three people then what deserves is a raise! What she doesn't deserve is for you to call to harass her on her vacation!!! Stop feeling sorry for yourself like some kinda pathetic, entitled bitch.

    I hope she finds a better job for twice the pay, where people are nice to her and show her respect. You're the kind of person who deserves to have all of his employees walk out and leave him high and dry, because your bad attitude stinks like shit!

    You're a dickhead.

    If your partner okayed it then why are you abusing your employee?

    People are entitled to annual leave you illiterate piece of shit.

    You're just a dickhead.

    If you were upset, you should have yelled at your partner, because he approved her time off. And since she does the work of three people, don't you think she deserves a break for working so hard?

    They were under no obligation to tell you. It wasn't very considerate of them but the corporate world is rarely considerate of others.

    Also, she used her vacation time to work for a sister company? She ought to have your job instead.

    Well shes still working for the company, you were just the last person to know. I'd be upset at your partner, not your employee who sounds to be extremely capable.

    First of all apologize to her, shes not on vacation either. Secondly it sounds like you are jealous of her - maybe you should take a vacation and find a new job.

    That's why you chain them to their workspace. Amateur.

    The title made me laugh as I expected a different story along with it but after reading the details .. you sound like your acting like a real cocksucker . You are upset she went on vacation? I think you are upset she is making a wise choice to find some extra money for her and her family , maybe you should pay her better and she will stay . I don't think this is fair on your part , she deserves her time off and what she does with it is her choice especially since she got the OK , please settle down and I would suggest apologizing to her .. you said it yourself , she does three peoples work there .. seems to me you should appreciate this woman and her dedication / work ethic .. when she comes back , say sorry and give her a gift card to a fancy restaurant or maybe even a package deal to the spa and hotel for the weekend . Treating your employee's better means better work and relationships in the office which means better results for you and your company .

    First off, it sounds like she's being over worked as it is, and it doesn't seem like you're showing much respect for the fact she busts ass for the company! I think she deserves a week off. Your partner probably should've discussed it with you, but that's your partner's fault, not the employee's. The employee shouldn't have to make up shit, and you owe her a much needed apology.
