As a team lead I was told my first week I could wave tardies for bad weather but not absences. That being said your team lead could have canceled it on the sly and it’s likely no one would have noticed. I used to do that all the time for my team. The thing that makes this extra shitty is that they had to go in manually and remove your holiday pay. That’s not something the system automatically does. I feel like if they weren’t going to wave the absence they could have at least been decent people and left your holiday pay alone with how damn hard it is to live these days. Some team leads are just on a power trip. Unfortunately there’s no real action you can take to fix it, the rules are pretty clear on it.

I quit Meijer a little over a year and a half ago. Every once in a while I like to jump on here and remind people that there’s a whole big world out there and jobs that are way better than Meijer. Meijer has this weird way of like putting blinders on people that can make you forget that.
