HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped.

I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!
