It reads as if you are 17.

I don't know a single young person over the age of 11 that would be caught dead using text speak! It now seems to be reserved for only the lazy and illiterate.

I have to agree. It must be about the most uncool thing to be found out for having a phone without a qwerty keyboard.

I had strict parents who did indeed seem to think something magically happened at 18. I wasn't allowed to stay home when they went on hol when I was 17, I had to go and stay with a friend, which was embarrassing but those were the rules. The minute I turned 18 every single rule I'd had was lifted. Go figure. :cool: Oh except the one about having boyfriends to stay - no way in same room, ha ha.

As for your daughter she needs to have a think about whether she's likely to get another apprenticeship elsewhere that she would really fancy after her holiday. Or stay here and give the job a shot, there must be a friend she could stay with?

Good point, especially in an industry where people tend to know each other - 'left because a holiday was more important' is not going to look good to a potential employer.

Had she asked before accepting the job, so the employer was aware that she would be away for those dates and the employer agreed then they would have to honour it (wouldn't have to pay her though), but as it is she accepted the job without any conditions so they don't have to

Sum of u ppl need 2 get a grip. S'not an oxbridge app is it?

Such petty prejudices are all too rife on here. Wonder which of these people best describes some of you

Not everyone has a smartphone and, certainly, my smartphone can't recognise my nails tapping in longhand away so text speak it is for speed.

Oh and btw, cool people don't say 'uncool' - it's 'NOT cool', probably and unfortunately followed by 'dude'.

I asked some of my friends who is in working then they said that she has not any rules to take off for booked days. But you tell them in advance that your kid would be not available on the following days.

I'm sorry, that makes little sense. Plus it is not for the OP to tell the employer anything about their 'kid', her daughter must sort this out for herself.

Friends, family and holidays are what make life worth living. If my employer asked/told me to cancel a holiday citing business needs, I'd be handing in my notice.

In your daughter's case she is going to have to weigh up her options as others have said. Go on holiday, leave apprenticeship and hope to get another (or go to college) or not go on holiday and stay in current job.

Although if the hairdressers can allow 2 staff to be on holiday at the same time without organizing cover and the problem isn't that but an apprentice taking the same time off is, maybe looking elsewhere isn't a bad idea..

The employer isn't asking her to cancel her holiday, they are simply saying she isn't allowed to book those days of.

The employer as far as I can tell was not aware of the employee wanting these days of before hiring her which is the employees fault.

No they wouldn't have to honour it, they could have quite easily refused the request but it would have been bad practise.
