My dp and i have have been looking at holidays and finally found one that we can afford and fits in with other things we have to take into account for our families. I paid the deposit and messaged my boss to tell him the date. Its in mid August.
Boss wasn't happy that I didn't ask first as it makes it more difficult for him to have 2 weeks off in a row as there are only 3 of us that work there and the newbie who didn't declare any holidays booked has now mentioned her family usually go away for 2 weeks beginning of school hols ( she's 18 and still student) so there's not 2 weeks together until end of August which could potentially make it difficult for boss's wife to take time off as she currently relies on her son to run her business while away and as he is finishing college in summer could be unavailable beginning of sept.
I don't know if i was unreasonable booking without checking first, i did mention the date briefly before and he did say it would make it more difficult for him,but it fits our family commitments and already places are getting booked up. ( caravan site)
Part of reason i am so annoyed he had a go about it is because i have bent over backwards for past few months working full time inc Saturdays because a recent employee was off sick and then because business became very quiet the boss decided to let her go so its just been the 2 of us to work. This meant i had to cancel appointments etc and affected home life too, but as i was hoping it was temporary did it without moaning. And I was always considerate taking holiday last year so that boss didn't have to work whole week at time to cover me, whereas previous employee took hers whenever it suited her.
So was I wrong to book without getting permission first or as I have given plenty of notice is it ok ??
