you have to cover your shifts if you're gone
Oh wow! Looks like I just got promoted to management!!
I just pulled this one on my manager. Felt so damn good
A starter dose of antiwork is just what manglement need.
Probably going to get a lot of hate, but you have no idea how many people I've fired for doing that. Request doesn't mean mandate. The request gets denied and still don't show up, well, then you didn't need the job in the first place, so I'll just go ahead and open your schedule up so you can look for a better job
I AM GOING ALL CAPS TO MAKE SURE THIS IS HEARD ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK. IF ANY OF THE REQUESTS MADE WERE MADE WITH PTO, THEN THAT TIME OFF WAS EARNED AND YOU, AS THE MANAGER, CAN FUCK 1,000,000% ALL THE WAY OFF.
And if those without PTO, this “request doesn’t mean mandate” is one of those, “you’re not wrong, you just sound like a nightmare to work for” kind of manager.
Now, after I’ve sounded like an asshole, I’ll bridge the gap by saying if you need a certain number of staff for regulatory reasons (e.g. patient to staff ratios in healthcare) that’s one thing. Workers who abuse time off requests are another. Dependable workers who don’t abuse time off requests should have no problem getting that time off. You very well may sound like why entire staffs walk out at once.
Congratulations on being part of why your job sucked. I guarantee you outside of management no one liked you.
You should never assume
Found the shitty manager. Managers like this i ALWAYS treat like absolute shit while not breaking any rules. Every little mistake they make no matter how small i report to corporate. I make their life a living hell only because of their attitude. I've managed to get 1 fired and another i managed to completely change the way they act at work. Felt pretty fuckin nice.
A manager should really find how the person acts before messing with them. You never know if you get a person like me who gives ZERO fucks about anybody no matter your position.
Given sufficient notice (like a couple days) there's rarely a reason to deny someone's time off request.
You're right, I hate this.
Thanks for your input
Illegal in San Francisco 🥰
If an employee gives 2 hours notice, they can't be punished.
That explains why there are so many engieneers in SF
It's not a request. It's a polite reminder that your employees are people too with their own lives, and if you come between them and the people or things they care about, you get to find out real quick where you stand.
Try not to choke much more on that ego. I'm sure the constant turnover you're bragging about must be real good for the bottom line.
Yeah, and they probably could get a job the next day flipping burgers at a McDonald’s that you didn’t work as a day shift manager. It costs you a lot more money to hire a new employee than it costs them to get a new service/retail job.

Hey, don't blame the rest of us for that asshole's dysfunction!
Bro, I get it, your instance is so cool and so much better than lemmy.world. the Lemmy world users don't even know they're doing wrong, I started there before coming to programming.dev. chill out, please.
What are you talking about?
I don't really see how it's abuse. You start working at a company, you enter an agreement. A very low profile contractual obligation "You work here, follow our policies and guidelines for this amount of money". If you agree and sign to that agreement then you are expected to hold up your end of the bargain. If you don't hold up your end, then the agreement has been broken. That's how business works. If you don't like the policies at a company, don't work at a company. If you don't like the money, don't agree to it.
And they say there is no more slavery in whereever that embarrassment lives
Very dramatic haha. But wouldn't that be the opposite of slavery? You dumbshit.
If you use an out of office request like a mandate, just be ready to be fired. No surprises, no power trips. If you wager your time with someone who is literally a broker of your time + (Labor), be ready for them to call you on it. It's their job.
