The head accountant asked for my number so he can text me on days there isn’t work to do. Huh?

For context, I'm a first year university student that has a wacky schedule and currently I'm 2 weeks on holiday since I've just finished my final exams recently, I would go to work at a retail company after class and I had a daily (part-time) salary for each day I came to work. So basically, the head accountant in the retail company I work in asked for my number today, I asked him: “Why?” His response: “On days that we don't have things to do and everyone is minding their own business I can just text you to not come to work so you don't waste your time, on days that we need you I'll text you.” I told him that I come to work everyday now because I'm on holiday for a couple weeks and just did my finals last Friday, (on average I worked 3 days a week),…

Anyone Else That Has Gotten to This Point?

My grandparents really wanted me to come see them in Arizona to the point where they bought both me and my best friend plane tickets to go visit them in March. I would have to take 5 days off work. This would be March 27th – March 31st. I put request in AND emailed my supervisor the hours. She responded that she will put it in the calender but it could be denied depending on how many people have requested that space already/if they need me (I'm a nurse case manager, the only one for my area). I haven't responded yet but if I don't get the time off I'm quitting. I used to be such a doormat but not this time. I literally don't care anymore lol

When you look at r/AmItheAsshole long enough you start noticing that like half of those situations wouldn’t even exist in a country with laws and institutions that didn’t put money first.
