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.
The fact that the guy you said this to doesn't respond to this specific comment says volumes about how right you are and how much of an asshole he is.
Fucking facts.
How to abuse something you are not even paid for? It's like saying workers abuse not being workers any more.
