Asking for Time Off 


Johnny: I just found out that the manager is letting Neal take Friday off. I asked him two days ago for Friday off and he turned me down! 


Francesca: Neal’s wife is pregnant 1, so maybe he needs time off to go with her to a doctor’s visit, or something. 


Johnny: That’s so messed up! I asked first, so I should have been given permission instead of Neal. I think the manager has it in for me. 


Francesca: I don’t think that’s the case. Maybe next time, if you ask a couple of weeks in advance, he’ll say “yes.” Neal does have seniority, you know. 


Johnny: Neal is always going to have seniority over me and I’m always going to get screwed. 


Francesca: Don’t get a chip on your shoulder about this. Neal put in his years and earned his seniority fair and square. When you’ve worked here 18 years, you’ll get priority 2 over newer hires. 


Johnny: If I’m still in this job in 17 years, shoot me!
