A very long rant, you can keep scrolling if you want. My apologies in advance:
 
My stupid company didn't approve my vacation because they don't want me to take it during the summer. Seriously, wtf?! It's bad enough I have to put in for it 30 days in advance, hope they don't lose the paperwork like they are prone to doing, and that they remember to write it down so I get paid for it when I do take it. They don't want managers taking vacation during the summer, holidays or pretty much any other time period that it may possibly get busy. Okay fine I can understand that I guess. I'm only an AM though, it's after tax free weekend and the last few weeks of summer that are going to be pretty slow, and it's also the only week that we will have enough people for me to take a vacation without leaving the store short handed on people. I told them all of this in advance. He still decides to not give it to me though because he wants to make a point. My manager took his vacation during Spring break. The manager. That's a pretty busy week, and we had less people than we do now. Why is his approved and mine isn't? This is also the same company that made me an offer to become a manager, when I decided to take them up on it, they change what they had originally offered and then tried to make it sound like I was a horrible employee and should be honored that they even decided to give me that. This is all complete BS.
 
Okay sorry y'all. It's been a horrible week and is only going to get worse with tax free weekend. I'm gonna need a really big drink when this is all over with lol. 4951

I'm looking for a new job now. I really hate to quit before finding something else, but if things keep going like this, I may end up having to. It's ridiculous how they treat people sometimes! 4951

I know how you feel. Its been 3 years since I took any vacation time. I supposedly get 1 week a year over here but I can't really take it because there is -no one- to do my job in my absence.No one here has any idea just how much I actually do till those things don't magically get done and as associated with my absence...I tried to take a 2 days off on the tail of a 3 day holiday weekend 2 months ago and got denied. Then the owner set out on his multiple-month out of the country vacation...Some days I just want to rage quit and just work for myself... which would be perfectly feasible if I were single.... 4951

you and I must work together...At my job,, you have to plan your leave request in October, for the entire year.That means if you don't have plans made for a weekend, but hen it comes up, you may not get it. So if you want to take leave you have to ask for it, way in advance. That causes a big problem, because its based on seniority. So if Spring Break is locked down by the time you get it,, your SOL. Many supervisors wont deviate from the list. Which sux because if something comes up,, hmmm lets say an awesome deal on a cruise, you got for free,, they wont let you take it. OR if something comes up this weekend and you want to take the day off,, they always ask if it was pre-approved on the leave folder. Luckily I have supervisors who work with the schedules and allow us to trade around.a few months ago they changed peoples schedules, and it screwed up the leave, because many of us plan it during our days off or long weekends,, but when they changed days off, it screwed the leave dates. That was a battle to change. 4951

That's what I plan on doing tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion Emoticon Me being me, I didn't want to find something else and leave my store until I knew they were adequately staffed and could function without me. Now, I don't even care. I'm going to focus on what's best for me, because they sure as hell aren't going to. 4951
