HELP ME PLEASE! My manager won't give me a holiday for Diwali 😔

My manager is asking me to be on-call on Diwali and has asked me to report in person. This is absolute stupidity. Although I will be compensated at 2.5x of my hourly pay but I would rather spend time with my family.

What should I do? I have already tried to indicate that I have old parents and I want to spend as much time with them as possible especially given the limited moments I get to celebrate special occasions with them.

That’s messed up, Diwali is supposed to be left alone

What kind of a role are you in? Hourly pay?
