That sounds like the definition of insanity. Without a stopwatch or countdown timer, you'd never get it set.
I'm back on the I had scheduling wagon again. My policy has always been that, once a schedule is posted, if you need a day off or forgot to ask for something off (and it's not an emergency) that you find your own replacement or be prepared to work.
So, I've got one person that calls me on Friday to tell me she must have forgotten to give me her request for next Friday off. All the time implying that I missed that. Umm, no, I checked and got no such request. Did I want to call people and see if someone will work for her? Nope, not my job, make your own calls. So, she does manage to find a replacement but can she now work Thursday instead to make up for the hours on Friday? Nope, I don't have the hours available and really don't need you then. Take some of your vacation time since YOU neglected to ask for the day off.
Oh, and then there's the other person that simply has to leave early some day to get to the courthouse to renew her license tabs before the end of the month. You can do that by mail or pay for them online anytime and they mail them to you. Or, how about any of the days you dodn't work until noon (which is at least once a week). Plenty of time since you got that notice to go and do it.
And here I thought things would get better after we fired the one that couldn't manage to show up on time and always had an excuse as to why. I've never met anyone who gets stuck in the show or gets more flat tires than her.
