Manager refuses to approve employee's time off despite them providing a replacement, employee informs manager he has a choice: ‘Accept either my vacation or my resignation’

There are so many rules protecting the employer from employees doing whatever they want, but it is time to protest that there are not enough rules protecting employees from their employers. 

If an employee informs their employer of their time off, two months before it is due, there should absolutely be a rule prohibiting the employer from saying no. Employees should be allowed to use their time off whenever they want to, and if they bring it up a sufficient time in advance, employers should have no option but to approve it.

The problem is, that there is no such rule, and employers can decide whether or not they approve employees' time off, no matter what the circumstances are. This causes situations like the one in this Reddit story, and which the manager simply refuses to accommodate their employee. The funny thing is, the manager is going to have to deal with having this one employee absent, as they are either going to go on their vacation with the manager's approval, or without.
