Hey folks, this is a mini rant / question. Sorry for any grammar mistakes.
On May 1st, I submitted a time off request for the weekend of the 26,27, and 28th at my part time job. The request was approved without issue on May 5th. Three days ago, on the 19th the time off suddenly got overturned out of the blue. I had plans to complete in a pretty big 3 day bike race and had already payed a non refundable deposit for it ($50). Was really looking forward to the race.
Now, I will not be able to do the race and have to work when I was approved to be off. This is really frustrating and upsetting that this would happen. Apparently, from word of mouth I've heard that one of my co-workers has his graduation this weekend and “forgot” to request it off. The other one is suddenly going out of town. While they have both been there longer than me, I do not think it is fair that they get priority over me even though neither of them submitted there time off request.
I'm just curious what you all think of a situation like this. I really like this job and it pays well but I cant suddenly be having time off canceled because of the lack of responsibility of others. This is a part time job and I do have other commitments.
Thanks for reading
