hey yall, I’m going to 4 different concerts in toronto this summer in the span of a month-ish. One is on June 29th, another two are on July 22nd and 23rd and the last one is on July 27th. I work 3/4 dates (June 29th, July 23rd, and July 27th) that these concerts land on at a job I had just gotten around the start of February. I have a 3 month probationary period and I’m wondering how I’m supposed to go to all of them without making it seem like I’m skipping work on purpose. I work during the afternoons from abt 3-10 and I work a personal support worker (PSW) job btw, so I drive to peoples houses and just do basic care for them, its very flexible so idk, plus my supervisor has heard a lot of good things about me from my clients and she has told me that herself that I’ve been a good employee so far. How can I ask for 3 days off without the fear of getting fired and when should I tell her that I want these days off?
how do I ask my job for 3 days off to go to concerts?

Call your boss and said the company is on vacation for 3 days. Alas you as the employee got the same 3 days off, everyone will too.
Tell her as soon as possible that you have previous commitments for those dates that can’t be changed.
You don’t need to tell them what the days off are for. Just tell them as soon as possible you need vacation days and if you feel the need to share, don’t. Just say a prior commitment
It’s better to ask for forgiveness then permission sometimes
Put in for the days off and if asked why, I always say I have some personal appointments that were already pre-planned.
