I started a new job two months ago. It’s family owned business. I didn’t meet the owner until I was violently ill and I had to call him at 6:30 am and tell him I was going to be out all week. He seemed nice enough and I went on with my recovery. Feeling better now and was back the next week. I work in sales on commission and the owner asked me to be at reception all week because the person who’s job it is was on vacation. I agreed. Fast forward three weeks. I asked yesterday if at the end of may I could take a week off since my mother is visiting. I figure give as much notice as possible right. I had to go and physically ask him there is no portal or anything for requests. He said “are you asking or tell me?”. He said he had to check some things out and will get back to me. This morning I was asked for my employee number. Probably to check my time clocks. Now I feel like I’m in trouble for asking. Am I being paranoid?
