Does Anyone Else Think It Sucks to Not Get Paid to Do Interviews When Applying to Jobs?

I'm looking for a job, which is a whole mess, but I'm doing a lot of interviews. They take a lot of my time researching, getting ready,d then doing the actual interview. I don't get paid for that and most of the time I never hear back. But, the person interviewing me gets paid. It seems f***ed up to me. Maybe I'm just bitter.

Time off request a year in advanced denied?

So I work for a major vision insurance provider doing customer service in a call center. Since I started it has been an abolished shit show, my training was cancelled indefinitely due to business needs during “busy season” and me and the rest of my training class were tossed onto the phones with virtually no support and made to figure out our jobs on our own as we went along. Recently I proposed to my girlfriend and yesterday I informed my boss I would be getting married in January of 2023 and would need about a week off for the wedding and honeymoon. I was promptly and firmly told that the date fell on “black out dates” for the assumed busy season and a wedding was not something they would make an exception for and my supervisor had the balls to say to me he would hate to make me…
