Is this your own personal story? Nevermind seems it is.

An old employer of mine would merely deny holiday requests for days you were entitled too then just sack you when you took a day.

Every year they gave out an appraisal form to be completed by employee. Noting days late, abscences, warnings and so forth and would discipline those that had excessive marks. I never got to have a day off and was never late anyway but they were quite reasonable for those that were and it took some dire self discipline to get yourself dismissed. Just a shame about holiday requests. They also wiped off marks against you fo occasions you covered a last minute shift which happened on a weekly basis.
