No, I'm dead serious here. I really do love it.
I may talk a lot of crap about my job, the people highest up on the totem pole, and some of the unfair and possibly immoral and unethical, if not illegal, things that they do.
But there is one policy that I agree with 100% and love it and never want to see it amended.
It should be noted right here that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift workers get paid holidays every year, such as New Years Eve, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday. Weekend people just get extra days off because *most* of those holidays are during the week. So we get paid for not being there
The policy is that if you call in the day before or the day after a paid holiday, you automatically lose your holiday pay. So, for example....this coming Monday is Memorial Day. If anyone on 3rd shift calls in tonight (tonight technically being our last work night before the holiday) and if anyone on 1st or 2nd shift calls in tomorrow...OR if anyone on 3rd shift calls in Monday night or if anyone on 1st or 2nd shift calls in Tuesday, they will NOT be paid their holiday pay. They will get a big fat NOTHING.
If you couldn't already tell from some of my threads, we have a huge attendance problem at my work. Don't ask me why, especially in this economy (yes, I said it!) and people calling in at such an alarming rate and frequency....it's pretty mind boggling. And, as you can guess, it really makes things difficult for the people who DO show up for work.
If you also couldn't already put two and two together....I'm sure that before this policy was enforced, people probably wanted an extra day off before some of these holidays to get an even longer holiday weekend. So out of fear that they wouldn't get it off, they'd just call in. In fact, people STILL do this, or at the very least think about it. The way I figure it.....holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day are on the SAME day of the week every year. If you want an extra day, request it off in advance and see if you get it. If you do it early enough, you most likely will. (It should also be noted that we DO have paid vacation hours that we acrue and can use)
I'm just curious as to how many call-ins we will have tonight or Monday night, considering that if anyone does, it's probably the same people who are already constantly calling in, who do not have any vacation time to speak of....who will get a lot of BIG FAT NOTHING. Muahahahaahaha.
