I understood that the pendulum was about to swing back a bit... the company was tolerating ever-increasing scheduling hijinks from a certain demographic of new hires who came with an entitlement assumption that their personal convenience always comes first.

The attendance crackdown of late was targeted at a small group of pilots. The need to document a history of progressive discipline led to the CP emails and phone calls... those were not actually intended to harass the average pilot, they are just necessary to build a lengthy paper-trail on chronic abusers who need escalating discipline prior to termination.

Probably going to be a few more examples to come.

Of course the root of all this is the staffing situation... which is only going to get worse from here on out. SKW has enough problems even without taking on more flying.
