My boss told me I can’t take any time off for an entire year because I have to “earn my time” (it’s part time)

I live where they have those keno machine casinos in gas stations everywhere. I picked up this part time assistant manager position to make some extra cash on the side while I finish school. I am in a few weddings across the country where I’m originally from, within the same 2 weeks. So I requested 2 weeks off so I would be able to attend all of them. When I did so, my boss proceeded to berate me and tell me that i have to realign my priorities because this job clearly wasn’t one of them. She said that everyone else is allowed to take time off because they have been there longer than me. And I won’t be able to take off for an entire year. However, there is no place for me to put availability, so i am expected to be available 7 days a week, and only…

She said that everyone else is allowed to take time off because they have been there longer than me. And I won’t be able to take off for an entire year. However, there is no place for me to put availability, so i am expected to be available 7 days a week, and only schedule my life out 2 weeks in advance for an entire year.

My boss also never tells me when I am breaking policy. she instead waits for me to break it for weeks before finally informing me when our district manager is around. I let her know from the beginning that I work other jobs and that I am in school. But when I requested the 2 weeks off, she accused me of lying and said that i said that I would be able to work whenever. Which is not true. On my application it even states that I have other jobs. Am I being insane or is this unreasonable? I am working close to 40 hours a week and this was supposed to be a part time job.

She also told me that I would only have to do books 1 time a week because there would be another assist on with me. I am currently doing them 3 times a weeks which means getting up at 3:30 and working from 5-2pm.

Again, this is part time. And instead of showing me how to do things, she instead has me figure them out myself and gets mad when i do them wrong. I guess what I really need to know is, would it be horrible of me to put my notice in without giving 2 weeks and just emailing it in and not showing up ever again? Because I feel like I am being bullied to work full time when I did not sign up for that.

Edit: She would berate me in front of other coworkers and customers.

Edit 2: Today I told her I was sick and she used her knowledge of my struggles with endometriosis against me. She told me I wasn’t sick and that I was just “a woman”…..i’m not even on my period……putting in my notice on Saturday after my last shift this week! Thank you all for validating me and helping me get over my anxiety to leave. I’ve also only been at this job for a few months so definitely not worth all of this stress!
