I work at Starbucks and I told my manager before I was hired that I needed December 26th to January 25th off due to a very important personal reason, not a life or death emergency or an emergency at all but is a huge thing for me. He told me that as long as I give a 30-day in advance notice, then it would be approved. I just got off the phone with the office that deals with leave of absence cases and I was told that my case would probably be denied because I just started 3 weeks ago. I feel stuck because I disclosed with my manager that this would not be an issue before I was hired, now I am hired and the one problem I wanted to avoid is here. The case is still going through but in the event that they contact me saying it is denied because I'm too new, I don't know what I should do.
Edit: Problem is resolved, was told to take my leave whether it's accepted or not.
