Might be a stupid question because Ive never really had a proper vacation from a job before so I guess Im not entirely sure how it works. I was always under the impression that if you take a 40 hour vacation its in place of the days you would normally work, and not taking the place of your days off.

But I come to find out that while my vacation next week was approved, they do have me working this upcoming Friday/Saturday which are my normal days off. Which I was not expecting at all because 1. That means Im now scheduled to work 7 days in a row before my vacation which was never the plan and 2. Will I be getting paid overtime now since theyre giving me more hours in addition to my 40 hours? And if thats not the case and I dont get paid overtime from it, is it worth going to my manager to try to still get my two normal days off or should I assume thats the only way theyre going to give me my vacation? Should also mention that my job has enough people, so it shouldnt be an issue of not having anyone to work those two days.

And lastly, should I expect that the following week I will go back to having my normal Friday/Saturday off so that I will then get 7 days off (5 paid, 2 unpaid) to make up for the 7 consecutive days I had to work? Thanks in advance to anyone able to help clear up some of this for me.
