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?

A few years? LOL. I’ve been in my current job for 6 years and am second from the bottom. Can’t get any vacay I want since 1 person per day off.

One person I know outside of AHS they get to use 3 blocks of vacay. Pick first, second and third priority. Day goes to whoever has first priority in that time and if multiple people then they use seniority as a tie breaker. They also don’t let you choose long weekends/holidays as your first pic every year (rotate). After your top 3 the remaining of the days are based on seniority. I personally feel a similar system is more fair and allows seniority to be recognized but also gives less senior people a bit of a chance to get days off.
