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
