They don't APD, PD, IVD, or sickout yet somehow every month they do it. Is there a swap with the pot trick?
I’ve had very good success using swap with the pot. Unless it’s a holiday, the reserve formula deals with the sum of the negative numbers so there are lots of options if you can find a worse day that you are not working.
