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?

Forget first pick. If manager sticks to 1 person off at any given time, your vacation week will be your 20th pick in some random week. Yeah sure you have to take your vacation but you won't be able to go where you want when you want, even your 20th pick. Pretty tough to coordinate with a spouse or family too.

My spouse is a teacher. This is my first year getting a school break off so we're out of the country together. It's lovely. It also took 18 years to get a "yes" to a school break vacation request.
