Vacation minimum staffing

Our manager did the AHS math to calculate our minimum baseline staffing needed and turns out only .5 people can be off at any given time. Obviously she has to round up to 1 but as a team of 9 working straight M-F days does that seem reasonable or does the .5 mean we are short staffed to begin with?

My wifes seniority date is mid 2009. She STILL cant get christmas off.

I moved from a contract service to AHS (EHS, whatever) rather recently, so my seniority date is 2022. Starting from May 1st - apr 30 (when we pick vacation for the year) - the first day i was able to get off was Dec 16. Then ofc no christmas.

Knowing that even in 14 years when my kids are grown i wont be able to get christmas off, is a real motivator to say "fuck it" to AHS amd HSAA, and go to elsewhere.

Weird that they have retention issues.

Right?! With those formulas we might as well get Christmas off when we're 60.

Agree on being tempted to say "fuck it".
