Schedules are made a week in advance. Put in PTO request 3 weeks ago. Boss told me I need to come in Friday after it has already been approved a week ago. What should I do?

Just as the title says. I got recognized for my hard work and rather then 'getting' the prize. Like a gift card, bonus, or some other perk. I get the 'chance' to win a prize; either a $10 gift card for the store I work at or a charm thing for those godawful croc sandals. It's insulting. Like my hard work isn’t enough to just get it and now I’ve to gamble my way into getting anything.
I work at a grocery store and my main manager that oversaw me was promoted to a higher position before he did my yearly review. The person that took over his position was not informed of this and I had to bring it up. She told me she would get back to me in a couple days. A week passes and I end up having to bring it up to her. She tells me that she talked with the old manager and that it has been “too long” and I will have to wait until next year's review, which means no chance for a raise for another year. This just baffles me and I am wondering if there is anything I could do to assist myself in this situation?
Fuck the work force nowadays.
I went thru an apprenticeship to build/ rebuild and setup machines I graduated and was there for 7 years. Made decent money, laid off when COVID happened. Just took an interview and was offered a job for several dollars less. They run and rebuild old machines that I went to school for. They also told me nobody there makes that much money. I don’t think I can take the job.
