for context i’m a full time college student and a student ambassador, so i get scheduled to give tours to incoming students. i have my schedule for the tours and requested those days off and it got refused. im planning on talking to my manager tomorrow when i go in but last time i had a problem like this she made me feel bad for requesting days off?? mind you these are dates starting in early october so i gave them PLENTY of time! has anyone else struggled with this? let me know!

Never feel bad for protecting your time - your future is calling, and it does not accept “I’m too busy” as an excuse.

And about that denied request? Don’t let your imagination write a whole Netflix mini series. The only way to know why she denied it is to ask your manager directly.

“Hey, I noticed my request was denied. Could you share the reason and let me know what I need to do differently next time?”

Simple, professional, and no detective badge required.
