I was hired just over two weeks ago, maybe 3 weeks ago by now. Not 100% sure. When I was doing my interview, a lady interviewed me and asked basic questions and my availability. I told her "I am in college and right now would like about 25 hours a week, just part time, but for the holidays I'll work more hours if you need me to. I'm completely open since I do school online." She said ok, and asked if I was available around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I replied back "The only time I'm not available is about 5 days during Thanksgiving time to due a cruise that's been booked a year, other than that, completely open." She said ok, and moved me on to a manager (?).
The manager, she works in HR, I don't know their specific names.. did a mini interview again and I explained my situation above to her as well. She kept saying that was fine about the cruise, that it was great I was open and willing to work more than I want to and so on. She asked me right there if i accepted the job offer, so I said yes.... obviously.
I put in a time off request about 5 days ago or more regarding the cruise and wrote for the description, "Discussed during interview with *name*, was agreed to before hiring me." It still says pending and I haven't seen the woman who hired me. Yesterday I asked someone, I didn't know he was a manager, when to expect time off being accepted. He told me not to expect any days off, "why would we even hire you?". I didn't go into detail and was annoyed, said ok and left. I called this morning and the lady at HR told me "I can help you" and wouldn't transfer me to her. I explained that my time off wasn't accepted yet and I just wanted to make sure it was gonna be accepted and that it was discussed during my interview. She said "oh ok I'll ask her and call u back" so i said ok and yeah it's been 8 hours and no call. I'm not scheduled for a week. Wtf do I do? I'm worried they won't accept it, when it was agreed to, and I like this job so far and don't want to get fired/have to quit over it.
