Holiday

The italian and I wanted to go to Italy for a week. So we both requested a week off from work in the middle of February. Mine came back fine.
The italian was told that they would get back to him. A few days later he was told that someone else had requested this week after him and got it approved, but he could have the week after. He explained that I couldn't go that week because I was needed at work.
We managed to find a week in March that worked for both of us and we both had it approved and booked our holiday.
The other day the Italian notices that on the board of everyones holiday he has been marked off as being on holiday on the week we first requested off that he couldn't have.
Am I the only one that is confused?? Bless the busy restaurant people that never have time to finish one though before another one comes along. Hopefully we are still ok to go the week in March.... Fingers crossed.
