Unfortunately, you’re right—but that’s true of every company. At the end of the day, companies are looking out for themselves, which is part of the reason we have to look out for ourselves as well.

Of course needs if the business I understand but the amount of times we can save needs for the business before needing something myself...

Unfortunately, for all businesses, scheduling is based on business needs and not the personal lives of the employees. What I would do is always request days off in advance for the special events. The sooner, the better. This way you are more likely to get that day off and at that point, you don’t have to care.

Yeah absolutely I request my days off formally to ensure I get them but sometimes things happen a bit shorter notice than the 6 weeks and I'll need to jig things around!
That’s so true , I quit Hospitality because of this issue , they thing that people don’t have a life outside work . Whilst some managers get brag of how they had a great a weekend , while staff are miserable for not having time for themselves . For them Time is money , not Life . It’s like we are working on borrowed time

Absolutely everyone should have a life outside of work because otherwise it not a life just a prison!
