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@

does she have internet at home cuz she has no other post for today. hope everything went well. If worse comes to worse she should just rearrange her honeymoon plans not worth losing a job over when its something that can be rearranged. Hope all is okay.

Oh THIS BITeS!!!!
I worked @ many law firms -- so it sounds like the drama i've had to experience on occassion!!!
I'm praying for you like no other. It is awful. I can't stand when the higher-ups forget their humanity.
The crazy thing is that if you have to get some work done and it intrudes on their time to go to a YOGA class -- they'll flip out -- much less you have something IMPORTANT!!!!
I had the same experience trying to get off for my law school graduation. It had already been approved then everyone suddenly had amnesia -- I finally just said I won't be there at work that day so you do what you have to do.
Of course the economy ***** right now and employers know that and they are taking advantage!!! They are using that fear to freak people out!
I hope everything goes well!!!
