To be clear, this is not the case - being able to bid for a day you NEED off. It doesn’t matter how senior you are. In this unstacking environment, you have a very very low chance of getting a day off that you need and bid for.

Since the reserves are in the negative, you can’t drop, swap, or trade. You get what you get.

That is the reason sick calls have gone up so much. If you have something you have to be at, basically your only option is a sick call.

The majority of employees are ethical enough to avoid a sick call unless they are truly sick. However, it is the ONLY way to get a day off, then that’s the only option. And that is where we are today.
