My boss said I probably can't have this upcoming Monday off, but we'll “talk about it” at the meeting Thursday–this meeting with all my coworkers present. I shouldn't let that happen, right? Does he have the right to discuss my schedule in front of coworkers? What should I say to make it clear that I hate that idea while still being respectful?
For context: It's my birthday this Friday and I already have Friday off (at this job your birthday is considered a holiday, so it's automatic paid time off). I also worked this past Saturday for four hours and when we work Saturday we get to take 4 hours off another day to make up for it. So my plan was to take the whole day Monday, with half of that being the 4 hours makeup from working Saturday and the other 4 hours I would just bite the bullet and not get paid for.
