is it okay to ask for 2 weeks off after getting a new job?
okay so basically i had a prior commitment to go with someone close to me up to another city for two weeks during his military training period and i honestly forgot until he asked about it today, the issue now is i start a new job tomorrow and im not entirely sure how to go about asking because i do really need this job but id also feel horrible if i flaked since he already made all the arrangements for me to go. what should i do? im worried they will fire me since its so soon ill be 13 days into my employment when the trip is supposed to happen and i feel like i should have brought this up during the onboarding but i honestly didnt even remember until he asked about it today and i feel like a bad person all around because i dont want to flake but i also dont want to seem unreliable to the company
