My boss takes way more vacation time then the company has given him.
My boss negotiated an extra week off beyond the standard 2 weeks the company gives when hired.
Then he told me he his boss (which is no longer around) gave him another week vacation instead of a pay raise the following year, bringing the total to 4 weeks. When he got a new boss, the new boss said no way and he is back to the 3 weeks.
However, I have been tracking his vacation for the last 2 years and this year is out fo control. I have a calculated 5 weeks, 3 off of the books.

To make matters worse,he is the one who “tracks” time off and hours. He tried to deduct vacation time from me and I have to show him records where he is wrong to get him to correct it. He tried to take off 3 of my days.
Then today by pure accident I found where he was not deducting time off for other employees.
When he takes off all of this time, I am in charge doing his job that I have no authority or paycheck to do.
In general he is a nice guy, but I do not know how much more of this I can take! It is not just me who knows he takes off more time then he is allowed, it is running joke around the office.
i am afraid to tell HR or his boss, I am next in line for his job.
Anyone had any experience like this?

I would go all the way up the chain of command, go to the highest ranking manager and complain to them in detail and have proof of the activity to prove your side. The rest is up to the person you told.

Stop being a bitch, either your going to take it in the ass from your boss, or you’re going to give it to his wife, and cause her to divorce him.

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets greased - and sometimes it gets replaced.
In this case, I’d be careful. Anytime you squeal, there may be repercussions. Is there a way you could point out the infraction without seeming like you’re just trying to get rid of him so you can have his job? Maybe his superior isn’t aware of all the time off - could you have a private meeting with the superior on another matter and casually mention the excessive vacation days?

I would not follow up with anyone on this … it’s not that critically important to the actual operation of the business. Let a higher up discover the problems when they call and try to locate your boss. Stay out of this one.

My ex-boss was also a jerk who would come in late and take extra days vacation. Yet he was always looking at everyone else’s time. It’s not fair that you’re getting stuck with all his work. I would say to let it go, but ask him to provide you with help when he’s gone.
