So I work at a hometown local grocery store. Been in business for 73yrs.
I got hired March of 2021. Back in March of 2020 I had booked a vacation to a convention in Austin TX. Of course it got canceled due to covid. Convention gets rolled over to this year. Passes are paid for, hotel is booked, flight is booked. But I'm being told I can't go to the trip being it's during the 4th of July weekend. Which are “red days” meaning all staff has to be available to work. I had no idea that the convention was going to reschedule for the most busy time at the store. But I booked this trip well before I worked here. I d o like my job. But I don't think I should be punished for wanting to go to something I spent money on 2yrs ago. I rarely travel, so this is a big deal to me.
