As soon as I can trade and drop at will I'll listen to the argument that we are "overstaffed".
That all is true I am sure but is it no coverage or no coverage because how tight they have the trip trade parameters? Is it because they don't want to pay you more than 2.8 for your vacation time. I see it all the time 7 guys on reserve and no trade because "no coverage" Nard to judge the coverage by our pathetic trip trade system.
