So depressed...FINALLY UPDATED! I kow you waited a long time!!

Original post by Jsquared279

Hey Girls! I really need your prayers. There is a lot going on right now and I am having a really hard time keeping it together.

Remember last week how I said I was going to have make up some vacation time for the wedding and honeymoon even though I went through all the correct avenues to get the time off approved? Well now the new story is 'it is against company policy to make up time' so they will likely be taking my pay for all my wedding/honeymoon time. I just don't know what to do. Right now I am in limbo. Waiting for the managing partner to sit down with me and workout something out but my request to meet today has not been acknowledged. My whole family seems to think that I am getting fired. That they are changing policies just to say that I am not following policy. I did everything they asked of me. If the vacation time was a problem, why was it approved??

Please pray for me. I am so scared and so worried. I don't know why they are doing this.

In addition I was supposed to have a second fitting this past Saturday and my dress was not there. The seamstress 'forgot' to bring it back. So I am rescheduled for another fitting this Thursday at 1 (while on my lunch hour). Please pray my dress is there and ready.

Thanks girls, any support you can possibly give would be greatly appreciated


UPDATE: MEETING SET WITH HEAD PARTNER AT 3:30 TODAY! Please pray for me!!



UPDATE #2: Thank you so much girls for all thinking of me and being concerned!! Things went quite well actually. I still have my job. They won't let me work overtime, but they also are not docking my pay. So we are going to work something out. I am gonna put some time in on Christmas Eve even though I am supposed to be off. And basically his attitude was if you work with us we will work with you. Also it turned out my vacation hours were accruing at a lower rate than what was promised. So that is going to be adjusted and will hopefully help. Also We are getting the day after Christmas off so I don't have to use my hours for that. I think it is all going to work out and he was very kind and accommodating with me. So overall it was a good outcome. He never knew that I asked for approval so long ago and was approved. He also never knew that at that time I asked what can be done to make sure I have enough hours and won't be behind upon my return. So he was upset that his partner never told him that I tried to do things the right way! So it was a good meeting! I was relieved. Thanks for asking!! LOVE YOU GIRLS@

Re: So depressed...

I am sooo terribly sorry that they are doing this to you. Some jobs are just totally unprofessional and don't know how to handle certain situations...specially situations that involve someone ELSE being extreemly happy. Just keep your head up... everything with work out one way or another. How long have you been with this company?

Oh no Jess....I'm soo sorry! Do you have any of your conversations with your boss documented? Or was this all done by verbal agreement?




Yeah I have the approval all in writing!!! I have printed copies of it and highlighted it! I am 100% completely prepared for this meeting. I just need to have him meet with me now. Which he is postponing because he is on a power trip!

Good Girl! Is there anyone else you can talk to or is he the owner? Do you have a union?

Re: So depressed...

Apparently I have to talk to him (The head partner/owner) even though his partner is the one I was told to clear vaca time with. There is no Union here. We are just a small 8 person law firm. And the truth is that I am the youngest and they think I can be pushed around. I just need to remain calm, polite and professional, but sometimes I have hard time doing that.

I'm so sorry to hear this! That is awful, it's not a regular vacation, it's your HONEYMOON for God's sake! Try not to stress, everything will work out.

Re: So depressed...

I am sure everything will work out. It is very stressful especially when everything seems not to be in your favor. Every job gives everyone a hard time especially when it comes to time off. Don't worry. I hope they will not be jerks so close to your wedding. I will keep yopu in my prays. Good luckon your fitting.

I am so sorry to hear your are going through this, it's terrible.
Cover yourself and document everything - time and date all requests and responses. Although it feels horrible now, you still have options and rights no matter what they tell you.

Keep your chin up. We're here for you.
