No, I learned not to trust anyone today. My family is planning a vacation to HI next year and I asked the first seniority person to "hold" a vacation week for me. Well he did and another person asked him why he had that week and he told them he was holding it for me. So the guy who wanted it started a big fuss and got the week. I had plans to propose and everything, so i'm wondering what would happen if i took a little unpaid vacation. I could get a "doctor's excuse" from my uncle. But was wondering how severe the discipline could get.
Maybe your not being able to get off that week is a red flag warning about your pending proposal. Take my advice, proceed with caution.No, I learned not to trust anyone today.

Um, let's see, HI or home? Decisions, decisions.Why don't you simply ask for a Friday and the following Monday off and take a 4 day mini vacation a bit closer to home?
If you call in sick for 5 days they may or may not make you get a release from your doctor before you can go back to work. If you call in sick to work and you are caught out doing something you shouldn't be doing you can be fired for dishonesty.No, I learned not to trust anyone today.

would they really catch me in Hawaii? I live in Louisiana
Your only way out is to talk with your management and be honest. Ask them if you can take it off unpaid or offer to work one of your vacation weeks in exchange for the swap.
What are you going to do? Call from Hawaii every morning to call out sick.
You are absolutely right about talking with management and be honest about what you would like to do.
My on car sup friend told me that the staffing schedule was usually planned for at least 1 person on Comp, 1 on disability, the number of scheduled vacations, at least 1 call off and 2 personal days. Is this the way the schedule is still done?
