Yup. I'm totally holding up the whole infrastructure of work. It was my idea to work and not have a working system. Hit that nail on the head. Thanks for looking deeper into my soul and giving me insight.

    Buddy, the world isn't resting on your shoulders. You're just as replaceable as everybody else is. If you didn't show up, they'd recover faster than you'd think. In a week they'd forget you were ever there. It's a job, even if you were half as critical as you let yourself believe, your superiors certainly don't believe it, and will cut you loose as soon as the number under your name goes from black to red.

    Are you under some illusion that I don't want days off? That I haven't had PTO denied? You speak of some fantasy where every day you want, you get. I am warning those reading this that aren't commenting. Those that think this attitude of "fuck it I'm going to do it anyways" is going to go well.

    I have never seen it pan out. It's a horrible attitude in any sort of relationship. I already know I'm replaceable.

    .I find it odd that Lemmy talks a big game of being kind and forth right but when someone does it about a subject they are dead set against the claws come out. I think there is an ethical way to fulfill both the business and the employees and be successful. It's a balancing act. And it takes compromise all the way around.

    Every day I want, I do get. As long as I have the time available anyway. A few times even when I didn't.

    I can recall one time in the last 10 years where there was any question about that fact.

    Unionize my friend.

    It is your employers responsibility to ensure your role has adequate coverage for your available time off. Not yours.

    That's literally my job. I ensure we have right amount of staffing. I gave said it several times. I just simply don't agree that everyone should take any day all time. Attendance is part of being dependable and thus valuable to a team. Holding attendance standards is just like any other performance factor.

    You need to know that you are wrong, your views on work life balance are abhorrent, and you're doing a bad job

    Wrong about how showing up is part of work? Ok. Just show up whenever you feel like it and tell me if you have a job. I think you're full of shit if you get to do that. Or you are like a Kardashian.

    It's your bosses obligation to make sure there are enough people to cover the shifts not yours, if you except being exploited or even defend it than yes you are holding up everyone else.

    No it's not. I'm in charge of 30 people in a place that has close to a hundred employees. It's my department. I am the one that makes those choices. However I do not make their union contract and I do not do anything other than adhere to what their CBA holds them to. I have only terminated one person for attendance in my time of 5 years. The rest of been neglence of safety on the employee.
