[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1739522, member: 42270"] You're leaving a lot of information out. What does your attendance look like otherwise (ie. lates)? Did you have a doctor's note? It looks incredibly bad to call in sick after being denied a day off. It looks even worse to call in sick after being denied a day off before a holiday weekend. That being said, if this was your first infraction you shouldn't have received a warning letter. There isn't really a set "attendance policy" for progressive discipline in the Atlantic Area supplement and there's some disparity between operations, but your shift should have a general policy ie. 3 occurrences in 90 days results in a warning letter. You also requested the day off a month in advance. For future reference (in the Atlantic Area) management shouldn't approve [B]any[/B] personal day requests until 7 days in advance (should be submitted in writing 8 days in advance) and by seniority. This prevents a junior employee from trying to "skip seniority" by asking for a day off before anyone else gets the chance. It also sounds like your sort needs a steward. And it also sounds like you need to learn how to play the game. There's nothing wrong with kicking management in the nuts (it's fun) but you sure as hell don't hand them an easy win (calling in "sick" the day before a holiday) when you're causing them headaches.
