Didn't do their job and secure a replacement before they went on leave.

The best part is, I, myself, personally called and told them they had the shift and if they were going to take Leave, they'd need to find a replacement.

If it wasn't the Holidays, I'd be pushing paperwork over this simply because I told him (direct order) to make sure he had a replacement.

I just don't get how these mf live with themselves. I'd feel fucking bad just having to ask somebody to cover a normal 24 hour shift, let alone during a major holiday where we have off normally anyways.

Why are you making it his issue to find cover? If you are his manager you should be doing it.

I think it's going to depend on what type of place this is. Restaurant and it's a waiter? It's on the waiter. (although there wouldn't be a 24 hour shift)

Doctor and it's a 24 hour shift? It's on the manager although it sounds like the employee was told they have to do X for the day off to be approved and it wasn't done.

This could lead into a whole conversation about using vacation days in the US

I'm not his direct manager, we're just in the same squad.

Regardless, I outrank him, so me telling him he needs/needed to find a replacement is a direct order.

sounds about right, unfortunately. Neither you nor this other person likely make the schedules. Should be management finding a replacement.

If you are not his first line, you can give him a counseling for something as frivolous as not finding a replacement but the commander SIGNED that leave, it sounds like the leave was put in before the deadline and they just made a mistake and scheduled someone going on leave for a staff duty/CQ and YOU didn't wanna lose leave days during block leave since no one works anyway and you're salty. Next time take leave, since the pool of people able to pull duty is REAL small during block leave so you'll probably get it..

Why didn't you submit a leave packet TC? That way you can avoid these things.

At least in every unit I've ever been in, if you put in for holiday block leave, you get holiday block leave, even if for whatever reason your name ends up on some duty roster... Also to be honest... since this dude is talking about the squad level; that means at MOST TC and this guy in question are E5s but most likely E4s... No commander gives 2 craps about who you are if you're that low ranking.

I have a bunch of lazy/entitled coworkers that think they don't have to work if they don't want to. They made my one coworker pull 32 hours straight, then she only had 8 hours off before coming back for another 16. They treat her like garbage and it pisses me off.
