“Your request will be denied, you can’t do that” That’s not how this works

I’m already in the process of interviewing for other positions. While I actually love my job, it’s a very toxic environment, unsupportive, no room for growth. I actually hope that I’m not even here in 2 months, but I will continue to my job to the best of my ability until the last second I work. That’s just how I am.

It was not. There’s going to be a meeting with the program manager, my direct manager (who doesn’t care), my coworker, myself, and the CEO Where we will be informed that we can not both take the day off that this meeting happens, one of us needs to be there, it’s not allowed.

Clearly we have opposing views on this. As this organization doesn’t own me or my time, I feel they are confused about my polite gesture. Approved or not, we won’t be there, and if you’re not prepared, that’s not on me.
