Re: Money Problems
I can understand that you are feeling VERY angry right now. But you are just going to have to take a deep breath and stay calm when you interact with your employers. Mistakes happen. You want them to be tolerant of YOUR mistakes ... and you need to be tolerant of theirs. Blowing up and throwing a temper tantrum might lead you to say something stupid ... and keep reminding yourself that "getting fired won't help your financial situation."
In the meantime ... Can you volunteer to work now and postpone some of those vacation days? A postponed vacation is better than no vacation at all.
Also, I would keep track of any extra expenses that you incur because of your employer's mistake. For example, are you having to pay for cancelled vacation reservations? While it is probably not worth the effort, expense, and hard feelings that would result from filing a lawsuit to recover those losses ... your employer may feel sorry about those losses and compensate you in some way. It might not be in cash, but maybe in giving you some "substitute" vacation time for the time you are not able to enjoy or something.
That's what I would do. It's a bad situation and it will probably not work out perfectly for you. So you should be focusing on not making things worse and trying to salvage what you can.
Is there anyone you can borrow money from to meet your immediate needs (just until your paycheck arrives)?
Good luck to you.
