this still happens sometimes when I simply take my regularly scheduled Friday off. thankfully, not often, as that’s now usually my manager’s problem. but it’s surprising how much shit can come up in a single business day because people can’t plan and/or are overworked
It’s almost always the communication for where I’m at. I scheduled this time off 3+ months ago, it’s been visible on our upcoming schedule for over a month, mentioned during the last 2 weekly department meetings, and so on. Will the powers that be have in any way anticipated the drop off in manpower and likely need to redistribute some active projects to the others? Not a chance…
Only taking 1 week off, but expect chaos upon return.

That sucks, but I hope you have a really good vacation!
