I work at a call center (boo) as a Kingston level 1 tech support rep (yay), and although doing tech support for Kingston is flat out awesome, they have little to no say over anything regarding schedules, pay rate, policies, etc, etc. That's all taken care of by the call center.
Well, last week the call center I work at changed it so any days we want to take off, we have to use our vacation time. And if we don't have enough vacation time to cover the shift we'd like to take off, it gets denied. Is it me, or is this just kind of crazy? I've never seen this kind of rule/policy in effect anywhere else I've worked. I'd much rather take an unpaid day off, rather than being forced to use my vacation time to do anything. Even if I request a day off 2 months in advance, if I don't have the 8 hours of vacation time to cover my shift at the time of request, it'll get denied.
But, alas, it's a decent job, and within a mile from where I live, so I can't really complain.
Has anybody else run into anything like this?
