Friend of a friend is trying to last-minute plan a bachelorette for her next week. It seems to involve taking a day off, though plans haven’t been finalized. I’m not attending the (destination) wedding due to the cost. I already said I was free, but that was before PTO was involved. I’m kinda annoyed at the last-minute-ness but also want to support the friend. WWYD?

You’re not free if it involves taking a day off. Did you initially think it was on a weekend?

Just say you can’t take a day off but can join them in the evening, assuming you want to join in the evening. There’s nothing wrong with saying no to things you don’t want to do.

A last minute plan for a Bach is fucked. I’d simply say I’m unable to take off w that short of notice

Just saw you said friend of a friend. This would be a HELL no lol

Say you can do it on a weekend day only - that sounds consistent with what you said before. Destination weddings are obnoxious in my opinion - if, that is, you expect people to go.

Depends if you feel this friend is worth taking a day off for then sure go ahead and go. Based on your question, I’m gonna guess “no” lol

I would explain that due to the lack of notice, you're unable to commit to taking a day off of work but that you'd be happy to show up over the weekend.

I was discussing my recent job search with some friends and we got into a small debate. I stand firm on not wasting my time applying for a job that doesn't post the salary with the job description, anyone else do this? I feel like anytime I have interviewed for a job that didn't post the salary, they end up lowballing me during the offer phase.
