so are you covered for you two weeks or are they short staffed? you didn't answer that question when others brought it up.
nobody should be shamed for taking week off, but if you're short staffed and your manager can't find someone to cover you or slow down production, I don't know what to say. Depends where you work too.
I think this is the attitude I don't understand though
So what if I'm leaving them short staffed? Whose problem is that? Certainly not mine, so why does my manager place this blame on me? It's the company's problem to solve not mine. Why does my manager not get upset at the company, then? Instead of being upset at me
But for what it's worth, the time was approved 2 months in advance and they will be MILDLY short staffed
I think this is just a deeply ingrained capitalist thing where money is more valuable than people. "But you'll slow down production!"
I mean I value people pretty highly, and I'm a pretty nice guy, but as a manager I 100% would not want someone with your attitude on .y team and would actively try to make sure you did not stay on my team, that's just work man ---
