Need advice with work

Try and talk to your boss and if he's very stubborn about it then I suggest you look for a new job and let them know these dates ahead of time.

It sounds like you are an asset to the company and it would be a huge loss for them if you were to leave. Stand you ground and tell that you are taking the time off.

View Quoted Comment I agree with this. For the most part, changing vacation plans falls into reasonable expectations for an employer if the situation warrants. But weddings and honeymoons which have been approved are different. Frankly, if they don't understand that than I would start looking elsewhere.

I agree with everyone. Stand your ground. If they do not understand, I would look at transfering to a different dealership! Get a new job! You should be appreciated for all the hard work you put in!

Thanks ladies!! I appreciate it!!

Stand your ground! As PP mentioned, you definitely sound like an asset, they can't afford to lose you. Try watching some "negotiation" how-to videos. It might be helpful.

I would explain it to the person who paid for the trip the same as you did here, sorry, but I got a promotion to a better paying position and now no longer have the time off that I did in my last position.

If you plan to stand your ground, great! But, I'd spruce up my resume and start the job hunt now in case things don't go your way. No matter how valuable you are to the company, supervisors don't always see it that way. They think anyone can do your job, whether they can or not. It's frustrating!

Good luck to you, and I hope things work out!

You should talk to the person in charge of the promotion and say a term for you applying, and then hopefully accepting, is that you get that time off. Most reputable places understand that booked vacations, let alone a honeymoon, are set in stone, and will work with you around that. Remember that you are an asset as well, and they need you just as much as you need them. This is a totally reasonable request. Now I obv don’t know your situation, but I would never drop my honeymoon, let alone a free one. I work at a college, where NO ONE takes time off during the school year, but I am taking two weeks in October for our wedding and honeymoon. So if my boss can do it, yours needs to step it up lol.

Thank you ladies for all the wonderful advice!

I dont think you need to approach the person who paid for it. I think you need go fight it out with work. I worked retail in high school and they scheduled me to work black friday, even though they had approved my time off as I was going with my dance team to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I went to talk to my manager about it, and he hemmed and hawed about it. I stood up, I thanked him for his time and the opportunity, but that my last day would be the day I was scheduled before that Friday, and wished him luck... I got that day off and continued to work for that company for another 7 years.

I agree with ur FH don't go back. I understand that it can help you in the long run financially, however a company that is going to make you change you wedding around for them is BS. You have the right for time off. I wish you luck and hope everything works for the BEST.

I agree with the other ladies! I would go fight it out with work. They cannot expect you to move your honeymoon around for them. And if they don't support you and want you to have work/life balance, is that a company you really want to stay with? Stand your ground, and if they don't like it, I would leave. Good luck!

I would first talk to your boss and check your employee handbook/HR Department for policies on vacation time and mandatory rescheduling of previously approved vacation. I would also check state laws and if they regulate this, too. I would hope that your boss understands that you are getting married and going on your honeymoon!!
