I think it's all about who makes a request and when. Have you talked to a supervisor about how requests are approved? At my previous job, we had a system for the big holidays that priority went to those that didn't have the last big holiday off.

I guess I’m going to have to bring this up again it has been brought up in the past
I would be irate if I was in your shoes. At my workplace, we alternate major holidays, so it's never been an issue. I'll work Thanksgiving and be off Christmas one year, then the next I'll be off Thanksgiving and work Christmas. I'd obviously prefer to be off both, but since that isn't really feasible, this is as fair as it can be.

I’m not happy!
I’m very fortunate that I don’t work any weekends or holidays, but I know the ones who do work holidays have rotating holidays so if you work one, you don’t work the next one.
Chief
That’s what’s fair !
Everyone wants to work holiday where I’m at and as a new hire it’s so hard to get scheduled to work holiday. I didn’t have this issue anywhere else, usually people don’t want to work holiday despite the 1.5x pay.
Chief
Oh wow, that’s definitely different!
I'd raise that concern with the boss. Tell them you'd like to see fairness around the schedule and who gets what holidays off. Other people deserve the same opportunity

Well, this is kind of crazy, but it has been raised to the boss previous and we were told that we were adults, and he would need to discuss amongst each other. The boss really does not like conflict However, I feel if you’re in that position that at times it’s going to arise that’s the position you chose.
