Casual reminder that staffing and scheduling is the manager’s job. If you aren’t a manager, your responsibility should be to tell your manager you can’t come in, and it should end there.
Definitely. If this is that big of a deal the workplace is dangerously understaffed or you have people just plain abusing time off which the manager then needs to be aware of and address.
I’m as pro-labor as they come - at my workplace, you have vacation time, personal time, sick time, and comp time banks, and some people choose to swap shifts in order to avoid using this time or in order to get time off after they’ve used all of their time off. There are reasons you might ask for coverage instead of offloading it to the manager!
Yep, I did it for over 11 years and while on boarding new staff I always made sure they understood come to me if you want the day off, I don’t care when, I’ll never say no, just let me know when you know.
If you don’t do this and the person can’t find somebody to cover and they really need the day off for whatever reason then they just call in sick that morning and it’s a lot harder finding a replacement at 5am that day vs 3pm the day before.
buddy my direct manager maybe makes 2 dimes to my dime. and they are nice. i understand what you mean, but its just as hard for me to get my shift covered as it is them.
The worst for me is the motorcycles one; half of the pictures are of motor scooters. Does it count those as motorcycles or is it counting on the user to know the difference because they’re not technically the same thing?
I was about to make a similar comment but you beat me to it.
It recently showed me a bicycle as part of “select all motorcycles” so I didn’t pick it. And I failed. Twice. Finally picked the bicycle and it let me through. Guess the computer knows best.
