If this post isn’t appropriate for this group I understand and please delete, I’m just not sure what to do right now.
I have 2 PTO days next month that my company may not allow me to take off because I do not have enough in my PTO bank. I requested these 2 days months ago. I am allowed 4 weeks of PTO per year (this includes vacation AND sick time. One bank). I now know that I need to have the PTO already in there accrued before I am allowed to use it.
We are not allowed unpaid days off.
I took 3 days off this month because burnout, then unexpectedly needed to call out sick 2 more days this month. I was not planning on taking this much time off!!
The problem is, next month those 2 days are for my bachelorette weekend. I have a friend flying in for this. I’m afraid this will be a friendship-ending mistake if I really cannot get the days off.
Wtf do I do right now I’m going to talk to my boss, and I’m brainstorming possible solutions but I just can’t believe this is happening.
