Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : BACKGROUND:
I work as a server for a wedding banquet. I’ve been there for two years and one of their most long term employee. I’ve been told multiple times that I have more responsibilities because I am more experienced suggesting I am an asset to the team.
WHAT HAPPENED:
So we have a fairly common rule that we must ask for days off 2 weeks ahead of time. As me and my girlfriends 3 year anniversary is this weekend (dec 21) I booked it off Dec 6. I however never got a response from my employers to the email. Time went on and Dec 16 I got my schedule for the week saying I was booked during the weekend. I stupidly did not even check if I worked and I just assumed that I got the days off. Yesterday afternoon (dec 20) I see that I work and I ask every single employee to switch shifts with me but no one could.
I told the owner that I booked it off and her response was “you never got a confirmation saying that you’ll get it off for sure”
Conclusion 
I’ve decided to just skip my shift tonight (dec 21) because my anniversary meant more to me. I was warned this morning that if I do not show up to this shift I will be terminated. Although I’m upset I still think I made the right decision.
