So!

I am currently on vacation, and in April I submitted my unpaid time off request and it was approved. Management at my unit knew about this vacation way ahead of time

HOWEVER

My OP—when I was on the other side of the country—texted me saying "You requested too much time off, and you'll be automatically terminated after 21 days"

I was not informed about the limit when asking another manager for help with requesting the time off. Now thankfully I reached out to her asking if I could have my job back (after unsuccessfully calling corporate's number 12 times) and she said yes.

Aaaaaaaaaand yesterday I got the severance emails.

Even worse is that I just called the unit today and they said "Nothing we can do, we don't rehire"

FML.
