Back in October the company that I now work for called and offerend me a full-time position. I took it on the condition that I could have most of October off because I was getting married and taking a two week honeymoon. They said they would accomodate that. We also talked about this at the interview and during training. I have been very open with the ladies I work with (heavily female dominated industry) with how much time I will need off, and was told again and again and again that this would not be a problem. I submitted my time off for the wedding (six days for the actual wedding and 16 days for the honeymoon) it was ALL approved back in July.
Fastforward to yesterday, I get taken aside by the manager and told that the company will not give me the time off that had previously been approved. Everything is booked and paid for, there is no way that I am NOT getting on the plane to Cuba. Looking at it realistically there are only two days that I could work, and they would have to be AM shifts.
Here is the kicker, a girl that got married two months ago took off an entier month for her wedding and is now taking off another week to go on holidays. Another staff member was approved for a three week cruise, and just tonight a girl decided that she wants to go to the cabin for the long weekend and dumped her shift off on a girl that is no where near qualified to take that shift (there are from two entierly different departments)
If I want the time off work I have to resign, and then reapply for my job after I get home from my honeymoon, and there is no guarentee that I can have my job back.
The best part? I work in the freaking wedding industry!!! You think that they would be able to understand this!
Coles notes: my job refuses to give me the time off for the wedding, even though it was a condition of my taking the job and previously approved. My job sucks.
I'm so angry.
I need to vent.
Can I have a hug?
