[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, let me ask you this, how in the world would you manage if both these employees got hit by a bus on the way to work and couldn't come in? Would your business grind to a halt?

If your business is so short staffed that you are one deep in every position and taking leave is such an issue, you need to look at how you are running the business.

Because what's next? Oh sorry Sally, I realize your mom died, but Jenny already had off this week. You have to come in? [/quote]

Seriously, if you are running so lean that 2 employees grinds business to a halt, you are staffed wrong.

I mean cold season, I think 4 people in my office were sick at once.  Is May especially busy for some reason? What business are you in? Wedding planning?

As for the week off for the graduation, I'm sure there is family in town and she is entertaining/visiting.  Same with a distant wedding, there are other people to see and might as well make use of an expensive plane ticket (because they are all expensive now).  Do you pay big money, where plane tickets are trivial costs (I'm guessing no), so time and cost are equally valuable.

As far as replacing these employees because of their 'entitled millenialism' -- good Fing luck.[/quote]
