My wedding is a few days before Christmas, and knowing that's a desirable vacation time, I put in for time off in January this year. It was approved in January.
A big project was recently sprung on us and it's in my area of expertise. There are big milestones that have been set for the project by my boss' boss, most of which are during my time off. I'm starting to see the writing on the wall that my vacation time (including the day after my wedding) will be revoked and I'll be not only expected to work, but long days, evenings, and weekends too.
How do I approach my employer to prevent this? Because this is at the end of the year, not only am I not getting the days I've scheduled, but I'm totally losing the vacation time as of 1/1. Help!!!
For full disclosure, I'm in New York, salaried, and have been with my company for 3 years. I've only had 3 days off this year so far (including 1 sick day)
