My time off request was denied, but not only that...
I found out this morning that one of my loved ones died. He was like a family member to me and my family. I'm devastated. The reason I bring that up is that the days I requested off would've actually been helpful for me to grieve, even though they were originally requested off for something else.
For context, this is a job I started two months ago. It is not a normal 9-5. We are open 7 days a week.
I requested off the 26th - 28th 3 weeks ago. We were told as long as it's at least 2 weeks in advance that we'd be good. I wanted some time to relax and recover cause this job wears me out (I work as a cook). Plus, some personal plans on that Sunday. Also, the days I have off aren't back to back. They're separated, so I don't really have time to recover on my off days. I gotta do chores, run errands, go to the gym, and all that jazz on my off days. š
I don't know why it was denied. My boss said we'd talk about it tomorrow and about the dates of the funeral (we have no dates yet, but i told him I'll be unavailable those days when I get the confirmed dates). I'm still really irritated about being denied, especially since it was yesterday. Like this is so last min. Not to mention, one of those days I have off already???? So why is it denied? Idk. This is frustrating and makes me angry, especially considering the news i just got.
What am I even supposed to do if he doesn't reconsider? Usually, I go by the whole "just call off if you can" and "pto stands for prepare then others", but I can't. We have a point system and I had to call in a few times (like 3x) in the past 2 months cause of a my chronic condition flaring up (I'm speaking to the accommodations company about it, just waiting to see if it's approved or not). So I can't just call off those days. Idk. I'm lost and frustrated. I HATE feeling like your job gets to dictate what you do with your time off.
