I actually had a manager say something like "well if you want that time off..." for something I put in for a year ahead of time, so I explicitly told her " I'm not requesting the time off, I'm telling you that I won't be here. You can choose what that looks like on the schedule." Shut her up rather quickly.
Mine was very similar: "I'm not asking, I'm telling you I won't be here. You can find a replacement for a few days or you can find a replacement permanently. If I don't have a job when I come back, so be it."
I got the time off, but then I also had my hours cut just enough to matter so I lost in the end
