Well Shane, I wasn't asking, I was informing you of some time off.
Exactly. It's not a request, it's information.
In Japan, by law it is a declaration. You use paid leave, you do not ask to use it.
That depends entirely on your job:
High court rules vital Shinkansen drivers can’t dictate days off
America's Supreme court ain't the only shitty one lately 😩
Been in this position before - fuck your job and live your life. If they were such dicks about it then do you REALLY wanna work there anyways?
stomach rumbles
Well if you don't then you don't have health insurance or money to buy food.
There are plenty of places where they don't lie to you about PTO benefits, pay, and have some group insurance plan/program.
You get health insurance?
That's when sick days come in handy
I don't understand this.
I have Canada and USA coworkers and when they ask for time off approval, they usually get it according to a per team schedule.
We know what quarters are going to be the busiest before hand so everyone is encouraged to take time off when it is less demanding.
You can also take time off in busiest times.
In both cases, you are asked to request anyone from your team to backup you up (obviously available when you are not)
I think many people (me included) feel that it shouldn't be the employee's responsibility to find shift coverage.
Agreed. It would make sense to me if managing schedules was a job for the manager.
Are you paid to do scheduling? What if coworkers say no? ... Those are two serious potential problems.
No, nothing of the sorts.
As part of the team we all know, usually, the details of the projects we are working on, details that we cannot expect a manager to follow or know for each project, because there are a lot of details and many projects. A lot of them overlap in discovery, development, execution and deployment and also have different priorities.
And it is my understanding that managers also need to prioritize given sudden issues, emergency requests, and so on.
Anyways, with that info, we can decide who is the best fit for it given the experience they have had or not with specific projects.
Also it is usually not that hard.
You don't get a backup 2 days before your time off, indeed, more often than not, it is asked with a lot of anticipation.
Also, most of the time when you go on time off, you are encouraged to have all of your projects deliverables ready for when you are out.
That way, your teammates doing the backup are just checking in on the project and available for general questions.
Personally, I like to leave documentation as well for my backups so they know what to expect. It's not strange to have changes that imply more work for the backup so the extra context helps a lot.
