This is my first post on this site and its going to be a bit lengthy but I have no one else to ask about this sort of thing so I thought I would give this a try.
About 3 Weeks ago I was interested in taking a paid vacation for the week of august 16th to the 22nd (This week at the time of writing) I let my ETL know this and asked if I should put it in 3 weeks out or wait until 2 weeks out, he told me to put it in asap. I did so. After a week or so had passed I cam to him and told him I had put it in and ask if I had done so correctly (my first time asking for paid vacation) He told me “yes everything should be fine”
On Friday august 7th I checked the schedule and noticed I was still on schedule for my the week I had requested off, I told my ETL there been an error and im still on for those days, he said he would fix it. Saturday comes and it is still not corrected, I texted him asking if he will fix it. He doesn’t respond so I decide to give it another day and wait until Sunday. He was off that day so I wait until Monday. When I ask for him on Monday im told he went on his own vacation for 4 days for his daughters birthday. So I speak to HR the following day on Tuesday. She tells me if he said he would approve it then I need to speak with him because in the system nothing is showing up approved, she told me a lot of team members are asking for more hours it shouldn’t be hard to find replacement for the days I will be out.
The next time I see my ETL is Friday the 14th
(2 days from scheduled vacation time) as soon as I come in he asks me when I wanted the vacation for (clearly he never paid attention or cared) and when I tell him this coming week he replys saying lets schedule it for September 13th and I’ll approve it now.
My question is, is there anything I can do about this? I feel this is incredibly unfair to me and very clearly my ETL doesn’t care and when I approached my HR manager about this she didn’t even let me finish the whole story before she tried to tell me to go to back to the ETL.
