♥3 Years Maintaining♥
So I work mornings, 6:15am to 11:15am and i am in my final year of uni and so have my final exams coming up.
First one is tuesday at 4pm, next one thursday at 1pm and then my final one is Wednesday the 20th May at 9am.
Now, i have asked 2 managers that i have had for the time off and my now manager got back to me this morning and said no they wont allow you the time off. You have to wait untill the day before or on the day and see if we can let you leave early!!!
I am so angry and disgusted by this. Especially since there is a flexibility agreement that if the mail volumes are very high then they tell us we have to stay half hour after our shift!!!
Now, i am flexible for them and theyre not being flexible now for me!
I was also told this morning that 2 people in another team had an exam today and they cancelled their exam and are going to retake it - my response was "well you think i can cancel my FINAL exam of my uni degree? NO!!!! this is the final year, you are not allowed to retake anything, you cannot just cancel your exam!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I told my manager, well i wont be in on the 20th of may so theres your heads up, you know where i will be.
Now i am playing a waiting game to see if someone who has that day off would give it to me, if not i will be having the day 'unauthorised absence' (even though they know where i will be) and will be disciplined!!!
Now my question, does anyone know if a buisness is actually allowed to do this? I know they have to let you go for doctors apps, dentist etc but for an exam im not sure - i always thought they had to.
Its basically my job or my final exam - i guess ill have to look for another job :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
