Asked my manager for 2 days which total 5 hours. going on holiday with my family after a funeral (I’m 18). She said no. And wouldn’t put the holidays away on. Saying I need to “respect my job and leave early”. I’m not going to leave a day early for a 3 hour shift. It’s like 2h by train to get there. Plus the cost of the train on short notice. I would lose £40 if I went for the shift. So I will be fired on the 3rd of sept. ( or sooner When they can…

So I will be fired on the 3rd of sept. ( or sooner When they can find someone).

Honestly I’m a bit annoyed
