I made sure to inform my boss about my upcoming trip a month in advance so he could adjust accordingly, but he has ignored my vacation leave request twice. I've already booked my flights and I'm not willing to cancel my trip. I even offered to work extra hours to make up for the days I'll be gone. I know he’s seen my message since he’s active in our team channel.

We work remotely, so informing him in person is not an option. It's frustrating that he's ignoring my request when it's not even a PTO. We have a "no work, no pay" policy, but I really need a break.

At this point, I'm not going to let this situation affect my well-being. I’m not gonna lose my sanity over a job. If I end up getting fired over this, so be it. I'm ready to move on from a job that doesn't value my well-being.

In the same email of your requests, I would suggest, emailing them to INFORM them of your upcoming vacation. Do not request again, only inform as a reminder. By reminding them that your are taking your vacation AND your access to communication will be highly restricted, they will have to respond one way or another. If they ignore again, take your vacation as if it were approved. If they respond with no, present your documented requests and state they were ignored even though you requested a month in advance. If they come back and say no, time to bring in HR and be harsh in your stance. Don't feel that you may be fired for something, because you did not do anything wrong.
