I just need to vent and advice on how to deal with this but back in beginning of June I had just started this job I’m at now and around that time I purchased flight tickets with my family for our cousin who’s getting married in the beginning December we’re all booked in and ready to go just waiting for December to come so I put in my request 2 weeks ago (I didn’t put in the request right away cause I had just started the job and we had a different manager then, so I decided to wait until it was closer to December with still being plenty of time in between) but apparently he’s saying I could get denied cause someone else could be asking for the same days off (which isn’t true cause we’re supposed to put in our time off requests on a white board in the break room and my name is the only name asking for December off). My leads on my shift along with almost all my co workers are just as confused as I am to why he’s making this a complicated situation. This wedding means a lot to me and i CANT miss it. Im just really frustrated with this. I work overnights at my job and we almost never see our manager so all our communication has to be through email or phone. I do definitively plan on talking to him face to face whenever I see him but just need some advice on this.
