since giving my notice they have started with the politics & have been talking to someone to hire in my place for months. All the while my boss is trying to suck every last drop of blood out of me. I want to take 2 or 3 days of my vaca. & say see ya sooner rather than later. How can I approach the subject with my boss so he signs off on my taking vaca. even though he's given me a mile long list of things to do before I leave? Should I tell him I had something come up & need to take the vaca.?

I completely agree with not burning bridges but they have been making my life miserable yet he's trying to suck every last drop of blood out of me. I'm tired of it already!

majormomma, you are completely speaking out of turn. My situation is not your typical one. I had cancer, hardly missed any work as a result, when they realized I was interviewing they started putting the screws to me saying I wasn't invested in my job & bringing up the fact that I have memory issues as a result of chemo treatments. They are just lucky they are skating without a lawsuit as I have grounds for one! They do owe me after totally treating me as damaged goods after being dedicated to them when I was deathly ill!!

As tough as it is to stay until your two weeks is up, it's best not to burn any bridges. You will get paid for the any accrued unused vacation upon separation.... So just stick it out. Just know that you have been valuable to them and they need you before your go on to better and bigger things.

The company may have a policy that states employees may not take sick time, vacation, or holidays off during the notice period. This is because employees are notorious for giving notice and then calling in sick for the final two weeks. Your boss will know exactly what you're doing if you approach him for vacation time off.
Your boss probably needs you and, if you want to leave in good grace and expect a good reference in the future (never burn your bridges!), you should behave in a positive manner and try to get the work done before you go. It's the right thing to do and your boss will appreciate it. Put yourself in his position and then you'll realize how important it is to work out your notice. You have no reason to put the screws to him. He hired you when you needed a job and, just because you have a better offer now, doesn't mean that your current job was bad or that you were mistreated in some way.

I did the same and took the time off
I am leaving to go to the next job. Better opportuntiy and I need to take these days off. They have to pay this you earned it ... they may screw with the last check make it late, but who cares you are on the way to a new life

I'd definitely wait 'til I got back to give the notice. Maybe if you talk to your supervisor or boss before leaving and then offer the official notice when you get back...your vacation will be less stressful because of this.

I always try not to burn bridges on my way out the door. If they will pay you for the three days, I'd try to get the things done that he's asked you to do and just take the pay on the three days.
