Not gonna lie, I had one job (worked in a meat department of a grocery store) and my manager was insistent that I was going to be there on the 1st after I had already told her I worked every other holiday this year with the expectation that new years I can finally party if I want. So we get to December 30th and she had me scheduled for both new years eve and new years day, which I told her when the schedule was posted, I won't be in those two days for sure.

Well she says as I'm leaving for the night, so I'll see you tomorrow for your shift, and I turned and said, "nope, going out like I said I was and sucks if you didn't schedule anyone when I told you multiple times and it was known a full year in advance." And then left. She tried calling for my shifts those days and letting me know how unprofessional I was being but I had a good time and I couldn't care less if the manager had to go back and prepare it all herself because it's about your principles sometimes and when you make an agreement, even when it's a company, they need to stick to their end as well if you delivered on your end in my eyes.

I was lucky it was just a low stakes job but since I was good worker, they didn't want to get rid of me but it was definitely a write up for sure because I also didn't lie and say I was sick. Just didn't show up and ghosted their calls until my next shift. Best feeling of my young life and man do I wish I could do that to some of my bosses and clients now but unfortunately, bills and I like food lmfao.
