perhaps you haven't worked in/around a college town before, or in a large one like AA or EL. but around those areas, it is common knowledge that students schedules will get a little hairy around finals, and as i had said, i've never seen an employer have a problem with it, even with short notice.
Harsh? I'm not a full time college student, but maybe I can pull this thread up when I just don't show up to work tomorrow. You think that will get any sympathy from my boss? It doesn't matter what town you're from, a job has to be done. If taking those days off was THAT important, he could have confirmed the days off with his boss. And the last time I checked, Universities scheduled their Finals at the END of a semester. So it's not like Finals crept up on him. He had pleanty of time to let his boss know that he needed some time off to study. I'm fortunate enough to work for a company where I can take tomorrow off if I want, as long as I turn in a slip today stating I'll be gone, but I'm also a salary employee. Most places want 2 weeks notice for any personal/vacation time you take, full-time employee or not. I just don't see why college kids think their life is so important that the world has to stop for their needs  .
