Started new job – they’re thinking of reneging a leave request I specifically enquired about before starting and WHEN I started

The leave in question was months away when I was to start this job but as my colleague also has leave on x date early September (mgr didn't realise until just now), I think they're gonna renege (from how they've talked about it). The leave in question is to see family interstate so Idgaf I am not cancelling that. I brought this leaveup in both interviews I had and as well as when I first started this role. I'm still on probation and I am financially secure so if they fuck me with this, I am in half a mind to just quit on the spot. Pay and work conditions are pretty good but there are downsides (overtime is paid in lieu which I loathe, on-call is a week long once or twice a month with no on-call rate unless work is completed. It's also not well defined at all)…

I'm highly employable in my field, and city (I.T. Support 2nd level)

What do you redditors think? If they have to renege, just quit? In the last few years I've just become so anti-getting walked over by employers so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
