How much time in advance do you tell work when you need a day off?

I have two jobs. One job told me we have a meeting in required to attend (it’s once a month) but they only gave me a couple day notice. I was already scheduled at my other job during that time and I asked my boss if I could have an hour off and she said too many people called out sick for this week cause they have Covid so I’ll need to stay for the full day. I told my boss from my other job I won’t be able to attend the meeting.

But now I’m kinda anxious I’ll miss out what was said during the meeting, and also a little anxious that I wasn’t able to take an hour off.

How should I be feeling?
The average timeframe is recommended at two weeks if you know ahead of time, that way managers can fiddle with the schedules.
@Fifidog Then You have no other choice but to miss the meeting, your full time job takes priority.

@NativePortlander1970 should I tell the people at the meeting I have a doctors appointment at that time or tell them I’m working another job?
@Fifidog Be honest, tell them your full time manager won't let You have the time off to attend.
As for the meeting, ask them to video record it so You can still see it.
@Fifidog Don't let it bother you.
