this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Gud, I hope your stomach keeps feeling better!
It's unsettling when my coordinator asks me something that I don't have the authority to answer. It's literally in his job description to make that call, and then he asks me "Should we XYZ?" Dude, that is above my pay grade. *You* decide if we should XYZ. No one should give me that kind of power. Or, well, they CAN, but then they gonna hafta pay me more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Moral dilemma. Remember when we got 7/3 off but we were supposed to take vacation time for it? My boss told me I could work from home and not take the vacation time. So that's what I did. Payroll apparently docked the time for everyone who wasn't on some list that my boss didn't know about, which I noticed when I was checking how much vacation time I have left in trying to plan for future vacations. So I asked about that, and my boss told me to just take 2 vacation days instead of the three I actually took off on my next paycheck to make up for it. Which is all fine.
This morning I get an email from payroll saying I am getting the 8 hours back but it won't show up on my time card until paycheck after next.
I'm really tempted to still only take the two days vacation. How wrong would that be?

Follow your boss' instructions and let him straighten it out.

So, not wrong?

I don't think so. It sounds like multiple confusions in various departments, and they can figure out what should happen.

I very much doubt there will be any figuring out of anything. No one besides me is going to give this any more thought.

Then if it doesn't feel good, don't do it. It's nice to avoid moral itches.
