What happened to his days? Did he use his sick days not being sick? Granted when my kid got married out of state I had 6 months notice so I could plan. You telling me a guys knows his son is in service, would graduate sometime, and didn't bother to keep any days available?
Still, if it were me, I'd go, and it would be my only offense in 6 months, so it wouldn't be an issue, estinuating circumstences down the road. Do whatever family comes first.
Now if the fish are biting, I might have another circumstence. But that's a different day and time
I was thinking the same thing... I know too many people that burn their days and then want "extras" for "once in a lifetime events".... Kids HS graduation... Guy has NO days left DUH....What you didn't know June was coming around?
You know... the way vacation and sick-days are 'awarded' you are always getting a 'new set' of something.. Sick days in Jan, vacation in May... apply just a few min for planning and your set....
