I would guess that I've called in SCK 5 times during the last 6 years (maybe all 5 times on RSV?). It amazes me how they ALWAYS charge my sick bank for the trip they were going to assign me. Interestingly, everybody else that called in SCK on Reserve was assigned the same trip!*?

Something doesn't smell right here ...

Concerning Management's perceived increase in sick leave ... well, I haven't been able to drop or trade a trip or Reserve day in the last 5 years (despite there being absolutely NO OPEN TIME?). Sick leave might be the only scheduling tool left in the shed. It shouldn't be that way! If there are 10 folks on B Reserve and exactly ZERO trips in open, why can't I adjust my schedule? I shouldn't have to call Management EVERY time I need/want to adjust my schedule!*?
