I know the issue stopping it actually. Probably management not wanting to fight with another dept management and start crap. Just kinda lame that we presented the idea and were told to complete the project wasting a bunch of time on it since it's ready to be released. They easily could have told us to hold up and see if they could eliminate the roadblock. Maybe that would have hurt too many feelings? Granted, the training itself was one of the better ones I have been to so I am happy to have been a part of it either way. Also probably didnt help that 3/4 of our managers are more the rah-rah, energy, build you up type so probably just hyped it more then needed getting expectations higher then they should have been. We went in expecting to not have it implemented and were ok with that.
The union bit is totally on point for us. They have way too much power around here (this is the one who represent my job classifiction but I am not part of it myself). Some have actually talked about decertifying them before the next contract negotiation.
And yeah, while time off in my dept doesnt affect others as much (we have 3 employees at each site. As long as 2 are there you don't even notice) it is a major problem at our main office in other dept. And that is with all the redundancy of civil service positions built in. I personally don't use much but will be using more since our new contract puts stricter caps on vacay/sick accumulation and I don't feel like wasting it once I start getting close to the caps/experiations. Calling in all the time is also very different from scheduled vacations imo.
Maybe my post was just written too whiny. All this millenial talk is affecting my brain
