[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is going on that week that they need so many subs?[/quote]

According to my neighbor, who is a teacher, because of the weird way the days off fell that week, tons of teachers requested the whole week off.  [/quote]

Yes, but the were told they couldn’t have those two days off (3rd and 5th.) Why leave was granted I have no idea, it wasn’t supposed to be. [/quote]

No. We recently got an email that so many people had already requested those days AND subs wouldn’t pick them up that *new* leave requests for those dates wouldn’t be approved. But ultimately they couldn’t staff it. Subs don’t work high volume days either. And you actually can’t just deny everyone leave. It’s a benefit of your job. [/quote]

Eh, I think the teachers ultimately screwed themselves here. It will just become harder and harder in the future. My friend who teaches in HS said a bunch of his coworkers deliberately took leave AFTER the email as a F-U to admin. Very mature.[/quote]

I highly doubt that. We don’t want to screw our coworkers or building admin. [/quote]

Well, after this I doubt they will be making it easier to take leave. [/quote]

Leave is not a thing employers really get to deny. If I am going on leave, with days I have banked, I am telling my employer, not asking. And when they don’t have staffing as it is, neither licensed staff nor subs, you really think they can fire people for taking off some Friday that is inconvenient? All employees have to do at that point is wake up “sick” which is even more inconvenient for schools than planning for a known absence a few weeks ahead. I swear some of y’all aspire to live in a society where we are all beholden to and controlled by our jobs. THEY NEED US and you do not have to work yourself into the ground absolutely never using your leave, which is a BENEFIT OF YOUR JOB, because they don’t like it. [/quote]

You seem like you have never had any other type of job. LOTS of companies deny leave if too many people try to take the same days. There is no rule they have to allow the leave. You are obviously free to leave.[/quote]
