They're a multi-billion dollar company, they have the resources to make it happen, they simply choose not to.

It has nothing to do with having anything to worry about. The fact is, even the "abusers" can easily obtain a note as needed, so it solves nothing in that respect.

Lol right! This...this is where they claim the morale high ground? You're stealing...no fair! But please, please don't look at your checks too closely. You can't make this stuff up.

Say it louder, for those in the back who can't hear as well. If they actually argued that it's effectively PTO, then they're even more hypocritical than I originally thought.

Lol right. Is it stealing when they use right up to the amount (not they they've ever step over, right...I mean keep your deals and all) of JV scope we give them?

On reserve, I've seen guys avoid a for sure assignment by doing that. Call in sick, the guy (senior to you) gets the assignment, call in well before 0600 and only get charged 1 day of sick. Saw this happen last month. I would actually consider that a legit GFB call. Though as stated before, it doesn't really solve anything as the dude will likely have no issue with a note.
