Taking a day off

[upsmoss]

I am new to ups and have not accounted for my 31 days yet, but am wanting to take off this Friday. Is it frowned upon to take a day off before seniority? Also how far in advance should I let them now? Thanks for any help.

Lol. . . Should have let them know last week

 

[upsmoss]

I understand the further in advance the better, but was curious.

Friday before Mother's Day? Good luck with that.

 

[upsmoss]

oh by the way I work Revenue recovery so I don't believe my attendance is needed as bad as other positions.

 

[oldngray]

Not recommended.

 

[upsmoss]

Thanks oldngray. That is what I needed, an honest answer.

Taking a day off when you've only been there a few weeks doesn't look great, but it couldn't hurt to ask. If they say no....show up to work.

 

[upsmoss]

Yeah very true.

You banged in 6 days during probation and nothing was said to you by management?

Just wanting to have Friday off? Or do you need Friday off? Go to work. There will be a lot of Fridays in the future.

We have a camping trip but staying local, so technically I could go into work and be fine but would rather not. lol

We have this new guy, first week without supervisor training, taking Tuesday and Thursday off for two job interviews. I honestly don't know why they didn't fire him last night. He showed up 20 minutes late and showed up after break 3 minutes late.

And no, I do not recommend it.

Attendance on Fridays is looked at more closely than other days because so many people try to make it a 3 day weekend. If you are still on probation it would definitely be frowned upon. You could ask but don't expect yes for an answer.

Then he asked about production to the part time supervisor and I thought for sure they would tell him not to come back. Still scheduled for Wednesday.
