[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 810609, member: 14176"] No expaination necessary, just notice. Tell them it's none of their business why you aren't coming. I wouldn't hang up, nor would I be dominated. Hanging up is a display of fear. Actually it would be to the contrary for my call. I would beat them back to the point where they would be the one to hang up on me. This way the next time I call in, the conversation goes differently. It happens every few years here when they turn over the center management staff. I'll call in to the OMS office and am told I have to talk to the center manager. I say sure, put him on. He plays his game. I beat him down. Low and behold, next call in, no static at all. On a side note, I'm not familiar with this option 3 thing. We do enjoy 2 optional holidays here though, with an 8 day notice required for approval. I turn the tables on them by telling them that the "option" is whether or not they pay for the day, as I wont be there either way. I don't put in for these days on a whim, I have plans. I tell them they might as well pay me so we don't have to go through the same process a couple months down the road. Having this latitude is the benefit of maintaining a good attendance record.
