Are you talking about Memorial Day week? Good luck with that.
====================
Thanks for the reply. That is what my stewards had told me originally...that it doesn't matter how many people are off that week hub-wide. They said my only concern would be how many people in my area (metro unload) have that week off, which is only 1, not including me.

I would strongly advise against two optional days and then calling in.

I'd highly advise against doing that. They're going to nail you when you get back.
==============
After what I've seen people get away with in my 6 years at UPS, I have no problem nor any worries about doing that.

I wouldnt risk a job
I've had for 6 years for a vacation.

My plan is to go about things the right away. Been a good employee for 6 years, hardly ever call in, always on time, never been disclipined, part-time sups like me and have my back.
I play by the rules and expect mgmt. to do the same. If not, I'll find ways to work around them. They've set a precedent at my hub that calling in (repeatedly), coming in late (repeatedly), not showing up for a WEEK, cannot get you fired or at least it doesn't at my hub.

Lol that precedent can change whenever.

Could care less about them, really. I work with 9 guys. 4 of which are newbies. 2 guys that are habitual offenders, calling in constantly, coming in late. The others, work slow to milk the clock to get their hours while I bust ass cus I wanna get home.
1 of our repeat offenders just in the last 4 weeks has called in on a Monday one week, showed up every day the next, the next week called in thursday and friday, worked the entire next week, and then called in this Monday. 4 times in that period...no warning letter, nothing. This is after me seeing him do this for years! The other guy, just as bad...even was able to not show up for a whole week and keep his job.
Yeah, not concerned.

Yeah, that is funny, lol lol lol lol.
And what can they really do? Calling in twice only gives me 2 occurrences within a 90 day period. They cannot deny me my personal holidays as long as the 4 guys above haven't already requested them.

The can make your life a living hell. Every location is different but calling in because you can't get a vacation especially before a holiday is just asking for trouble and pretty childish.
It's a freaking vacation it's not worth it.
====
Yes, it is worth it. Living hell? Doubtful. Every location is different? I guess I must work in one of those REALLY "different" locations because everything you claim may happen has NEVER happened to these two fools i work with.
