english is 2nd language, sry in advance*
A big music festival is coming to my city and will be held the weekend after my school gets out. After a long, grueling semester, I would like to take my girlfriend there and celebrate together (hopefully in celebration of good exam scores), but I find that my employer says I cannot take those days off due to it being the same weekend as the music festival, and his business will receive a higher demand than usual.
Apparently, it's an unwritten rule of many workplaces that if you work for someone, you no longer celebrate holidays until you leave the job. 🙁
