[NY] Day off approved months ago, coworker covering me just quit, do I bring it up or assume I’m still good?
Back in January, I requested time off for May 26 and it was approved. I also arranged coverage with a coworker, had it signed off, and gave it to my manager. She even wrote it on her calendar, so it was clearly acknowledged and scheduled.
Fast forward to now — my trip is basically here. I leave May 24, the office is closed for Memorial Day on the 25th, and I’m always off Wednesdays. The only day I actually needed coverage for was May 26.
Last week, the coworker who was supposed to cover me quit.
So I’m stuck wondering:
Am I supposed to find coverage again even though this was approved months ago?.
Can they realistically pull back approved time off this close because someone quit?
Should I bring this up to my manager now… or just assume I’m still going since it was already approved and I planned everything around it?
I already made travel plans based on the approval and it’s too late to change anything.
What would you do in my situation — talk to her or just go?
