If I don’t VDO, I have 12 days off. If I VDO, I have 12 days off and I make 150% on many days and get to often choose my days off and when I pick up the scheduler asks IF I want to work.

Wouldn’t it be more like I was sticking it to the man? I got paid 150% for a trip this month AND now have the holiday weekend off, during which the company will likely have an even worse shortage while I’m drinking beer on a house boat on a day they would have likely been paying me only regular pay.

Now if a guy were to VDO and then work more than 18 days a month...that’s a different story. Not even sure if that’s contractually legal since the idea to give up my days off hasn’t crossed my mind.
