I might get frustrated when seniority causes something to not work out my way, but I don’t say it’s a garbage move, because that’s the system I signed up for.
Nobody said it was a garbage move. They said you are wasting a vacation week.
That is a true statement.
If you bid a summer week, have the seniority to be awarded that summer week, but then show up at work....you have quite literally 'wasted' that week of vacation.
You will be rewarded monetarily, but that week of vacation is gone forever.

You actually believe that?
