I feel so guilty because I just started this new job and way before I even had the interview I booked tickets to go see my dads family because im only able to see them 1 time a year. Im leaving for 18 days and there is this feeling of missing out on work. Yet I need to go visit my family. I physically and emotionally need to see my family. My boss says that stuff happens and my job will be waiting for me. But I still feel like im letting him as well as my job down. And it certainly doesn’t help that today was my first day :(. When I told him about this in the interview process he said there shouldn’t be a problem. Now that i think about it, im afraid of what the other employees will think of me when I just up and leave. I feel like a horrible person.
