Hi, I just have a question about my job. So first, I'll explain a few things..I'm 19 and I moved to Ontario in May from New Brunswick to live with my boyfriend. I got a job about a 1 min walk, from his house at a grochery store around the end of July, At the end of August, I emailed my boss and told him I had to leave right away to go home for a family emergency. He was fine with that, and let me return. And I returned in a week,no longer. In October I asked my boss how likely it would be to get time off around christmas to spend christmas with my family and he said not likely, but that he could maybe try to work something out. But It would only be a week. So I emailed my boss about 2 weeks ago asking if it was okay to sort out a week that I need for Christmas, and he said he'd speak to me at work. And well..he didn't. So I'm assuming that my boss is going to not mention it just to see if I clue in and stay. I also was told by some co-workers that if I even tried to leave I may get fired. But here is the problem, All I have here is my boyfriend, no friends and no family. So I've been really down lately , and depressed and sometimes lonely because I don't even think my boyfriend could understand how hard everything is for me. And I just really think that if I got some time off to spend a week or two with my family it would really help. Not to mention help my relationship with my boyfriend because I'm never happy. Seeing him have eveything and not understand me is causing me to feel anger because of it. I'm just really worried that I would get fired , I thought about going to my doctor and telling him how I've been feeling, because I've actually been depressed. and seeing if he could write me a note for a personal leave to help me. I also work in the bakery/deli part of the store and they lost 3 employees after i started, one of which that was fired for stealing so for a few weeks, They gave me really brutal shifts and one week I worked 10-13 days straight. And now they only have Me, Another guy and another girl. Would my doctor allow me to do this and would my boss accept it ? And am I allowed to take personal time for myself during Christmas time? I also forgot to mention I went home for a week before because my grandfather wasen't doing so well.
