Vacation Requests Become a Game of Favorites 😒

So, here's my dilemma: I finally mustered up the courage to request some much-needed vacation time, only to have my boss shoot it down. The reason? Apparently, the other employees are students, and their schedules are more 'flexible.' I can't help but feel frustrated. Does my need for a break matter less just because I'm not in school? It's like my personal time is invisible! I'm starting to wonder if this is just how things work, or if I'm being unfairly overlooked. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of favoritism at work? How do you handle it without burning bridges? I could really use some advice right now! 😩🤔 #WorkplaceStruggles #VacationDenied #NeedAdvice #JobCareer
