A little context, I had a discussion with my boss two weeks ago about my desire to leave the company because the things promised during the interview have not been true. Right now I am in the process of looking for a new job, my boss is not pressuring me to leave asap.

Today I got into work and she asked me to go with a work colleague for one of her projects, which is a brand activation at a festival. The event is 550 km (350 miles) away from the city we work in and the reason my boss wants me to go (even though I haven't worked on the project at all) is to keep my colleague company on the 10 hour drive.

I asked her why wont she go by air travel and the reasoning was because she has things to transport to the event and then I asked why we aren't hiring transportation and the answer was because my colleague prefers driving there.

I have things scheduled for every day of the week (from dentist, to vet to my best friend's birthday party) and I feel like she is using my leave as an excuse to make me do what she wants.

AITA if I refuse the work trip?
