Oh I see... When a business lies and cheats... It's a business necessity. But if I do it... I'm just trying to get my own way. Since when do corporations have privileges which place them beyond reproach? "I don't like it, but it's what they have to do." What about what I have to do to get the...

That is a valid consideration, which is one of the reasons I was leaving against that option.

This generally doesn't fall under employment law, but since the...

So I work for a large international company in California. In my workplace we have 4 techs in a warehouse. One takes Sun-Thurs first shift, two take Mon-Fri first shift and I take Mon-Fri second shift. Near the beginning of the year I scheduled PTO for the second and third full weeks of...
