I work weekend shift, 12hrs each day. On Thursday I had to take my pet rabbit to the vet, vet said I had to syringe feed him for the next 3 days to get his digestive system running again. I texted my supervisor that I need Saturday off to care for my rabbit. We have an online scheduling program, I put in for a vacation day in there. It got rejected. I told my supervisor I'll have to use a sick day then. She texted me her boss cancelled it, hold on she's working on it. A little while later, she said put it in again, I did and it got approved.
My job isn't great, but I still try because our supervisor looks after us. This is how it should be. I wish everyone could have this.
