I’m in the process of starting my new job in a field I can see myself staying in for a long time. It’s important to me that I’ll work a job that I actually enjoy instead of the disrespectful get-by jobs I’m used to. My best friend is getting married in late May and I’m a bridesmaid. I will be working an alternating schedule starting out and the wedding will be on a Saturday. As you may have seen from my previous post, I have made the mistake of being too trusting in my previous job. I don’t want to assume I’ve got this job indefinitely and I want to protect myself. But I have been her friend for years and she’s important to me so I have to do what I can to be in the wedding. When would be the best time to bring this up? And how should I go about it? I hate that I feel this way, because I am such an advocate for workers’ rights and if this job wasn’t such a great opportunity I wouldn’t even blink before asking off. Thanks in advance
