I love my job, but I’m going to quit if they can’t give me my wedding and honeymoon off

I’m a coach for pre school age kids sports. I work 15 hours a week or so right now while I go to school to be an elementary school teacher. I LOVE my job and my kids. It’s so fun to see their giant smiles when we’re playing games and I feel like I bond with so many of them. Plus coaches get to be more like the fun uncle while teachers are the strict parents.

I’m a coach for pre school age kids sports. I work 15 hours a week or so right now while I go to school to be an elementary school teacher.

I LOVE my job and my kids. It’s so fun to see their giant smiles when we’re playing games and I feel like I bond with so many of them. Plus coaches get to be more like the fun uncle while teachers are the strict parents.

However, I’m getting married end of July. I told my boss about it today during my review, and he said we’d have to see if we can find coaches to sub for me that week while I go on my honeymoon. This is still five months away, but he pretty much said we’d need to wait until mid June to see if I can actually get it off. Obviously that doesn’t fly, because I need more than a month to reserve a wedding venue, send out invitations, and book hotels. We actually already did all of that, and it’s non-refundable. I’m definitely not canceling any of it.

If I don’t find subs for that whole week, I’ll have to quit this job. There’s no way I’m missing my honeymoon for a two hour football class with four year olds.

Oh, he also pretty much told me to try to get out of the jury duty that I just got summons for. Why do these bosses expect so much from a part time job?

I feel mixed feelings, because I got a raise and a promotion in that same call.
