Which I'd have no problem with. Unfortunately, when someone's name is approved for the day off, and someone else says "I'm taking the day off, approved or not" two days, for example, beforehand, management likes to take the easy way out and simply deny the person they think they can make come to work.
I've seen it happen over and over to guys who rarely take days, while the habitual attendance problem guys get a pass when they call out because "he's always calling in, but we gotta cover this route". It's also why management looses control of a center, is failure to follow up and discipline these employees. Finally when the regular employees get tired of being dicked over, it's when management wants to take a hard stand, by then it's too late and everyone says piss on it.
