To add on,
system ran for awhile and then management put a new sheriff in charge and he ratcheted things down to a more realistic level.

I received a note under the old system with the statement that I had called in sick before my R days and blah, blah, get us a note.
Which was way annoying because I was so Junior at the time that all I could hold was R days...and, I had called in sick during my previous block of R days 4 days earlier.
