As soon as I can trade and drop at will I'll listen to the argument that we are "overstaffed".
No offense but your trip being approved (or your other trade issues) is of no interest in whether or not we are staffed in management's view.
If that day you tried to trade your trip we ended up with "0" reserves but at the same time your trade was denied, management considers it a success while you see it as a staffing failure.
That is why we need some sort of staffing formula on the new contract, so that your attempted trade it deemed as an unsuccessful staffing event and the company should be penalized in some sort of way for that failure.
So to answer your question as to "Says who management"? well yes, it is management.
