Which is better?

I graduated in June, passed my boards in July and landed a great job in August.I feel incredibly lucky especially since I'm in California! So here's the conflict. My sister announced yesterday she's getting married in October.

My orientation is at the end of September. Meaning I am running the risk of having to call out sick within the first month. And the risk I'll be working the night before meaning I'll be pulling an all nighter on her wedding day anyways. (Schedule won't be given to me until orientation day)

I suppose my other option would be to ask to push my orientation back to the "next session" which would be at the end of October.

Which looks worse? Had I known I would have brought it up during the interview! I'm frustrated with the situation but there is absolutely no way that I would ever consider missing my sister's wedding.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you reached out to the manager for their view?

    Honestly, I haven't been able to reach her. I emailed first and then called. Her voicemail states she's out of the office for the next 2 weeks.

    Does it mention who to call for immediate assistance?

    Calling out sick for a wedding is not a smart idea- and it may be adversely affect your introductory review and start the paper trail leading to an exit.

    There are many managers who are willing to be flexible. Heck, we had an employee attend the HR orientation and then go on vacation for a week before she even arrived on the unit. As an orientee, you should never be counted in the staffing numbers, which would give some flexibility if a manager is willing to work with a new hire.

    I am confused. Why would you need to call out? Just arrange to have that day off in advance.
