So this year I didn’t get all the days I requested off for the holiday and I’m a well seasoned vet. Did you think the higher your seniority, your request should come first? I shouldn’t have to beg for days at this point.

Yes. And I would just call off tbh

Trust me! I been thinking of it and I have a few days to think on that. The crazy part they already came to us and asked to please be at work if you are scheduled because the call out can harm a lot of things of course.

Sure, seniority should be a determinant in who gets their preference for holiday time off. At some point it probably becomes an intractable issue if everyone wants the same days. There should be some fair way to make those decisions, and seniority seems like a good tiebreaker.

Yes.🙌 I don’t know why and sorry I feel that way but no new person should be before me honestly. If it comes down to me and a newbie, it should be me. I just feel so upset about it.

The only think wrong with seniority is that then year after year it is the same people getting the holidays off. I generally think it should be done that way but I do understand why that could be problematic.

For sure!

Back in the day, we would pass a calendar around with the most senior starting and then passed to the next. Fast forward 5 years and the newbies claimed it wasn't fair, so the managers asked for a list of dates via email and seniority was thrown out of the window. When too many people asked for the same day, the managers put us in a room and it became a scene out of fight club. Yelling, screaming, and gnashing of teeth created a pretty tense work environment.

Wow okay now I don’t think I would take that far. Gesshhhh. I mean I get everyone can’t have every day they want but if it one day. What’s the harm?
