It's being hit by a bus that I'm talking about. Where the doctor has no choice.
Ahhh for that? EMR, as well as the service they are on should have had "rounds" where the team was briefed on the patients current steps. If it's private practice new person will do a full workup.
That's more what I would expect, and the same from IT. Sure documentation has to be minutes or hours behind sometimes. But really never more than a day at an extreme.

Technically it is up to your employer to grant those days if you have them. They don't have to say "YES" but it is in their interest to do so since they don't want to piss of their employees and have no staff/crap glass door reviews.

Yeah. It depends on whether I'm wanting to take the day and just chill out at the house vs something like I gotta take the kid to the doctor, or gotta fix a hole in my roof...
I will work with my bosses when I want / need time off, but they know if I say I ain't going to be here, there's no negotiation... It's hasn't got me in hot water here yet...

I've now had vacation denied twice since starting here.
First was for a conference I wanted to go that I gave them more than a year warning about - and at 6 months, the boss's kid decided to have a destination wedding the same fraking weekend - man I was pissed!
Second time now - MangoCon 2019 week. This is a bummer, but my request came after the overlapping request was submitted.

And isn't there coverage for stuff like that, rare one-off important things?
Heck, it is carnival weekend here and we are checking on who wants time off and figuring out who will cover for them and we are so much smaller.

Sure - there is coverage - a MSP we call when I'm hit by a bus... but that's not her POV. Her POV is that basically one of us needs to be onsite to be the point person for any such problems. I don't agree with this, but I'm also not the one in charge.

You're smaller in a totally different way though. i.e. you're not smaller in in company IT resources.

For the first one... I'd call that one a 50/50... A lot can change in a year. I probably would have been upset about that if the boss wouldn't at least try to figure out a way to let me go.... what would have happened if you had been deathly ill during the time you could have gone to that conference?
The second one, I kinda get... Somebody else beat you to the punch, lol.

Your boss isn't an IT resource either
It's just "people out of the office".

why wouldn't the same apply to both - I beat her to the punch, she beat me to the punch.
As for being sick - at least I'd be sick at home - and likely easily reachable. Of course - if I was hit by a bus, she likely still would have gone to her wedding, and the MSP would be oncall as my replacement.
When I put my time in a year+ in advance, I'm rarely asking for US based holiday time off - so the chances of a specific overlap are generally pretty low. That year was no different - the mom - my boss, just didn't bother to look at what was already on her schedule when telling her kids she was free. but no point in hashing over it now.

Already said - she wants one of us to be here to run the problem.

He seems in and out, here from about a week ago, evidently he's training someone:
@guyinpv said in Finally leaving my job, and it's just as annoying as I thought it would be:
To begin a detailed, thought-out, plan of finding a competent replacement. Start looking at quality job boards, map out job requirements, etc. Be reasonable, efficient, mindful.
Instead they panicked that I was going to walk out and leave in a couple days. They rushed to find anybody with basic knowledge of a computer from the local staffing agency and threw them onto my lap with little consideration. Now I'm trying to train a person with no experience and fairly rudimentary knowledge. Plus they dumped all these demands for an encyclopedia worth of how-tos, procedures, vendor notes, troubleshooting guides, etc.
It's funny but also sad. One day the new person was there and I was at home, sick or something. A shared network connection in Windows got disconnected which made an app pop up an error. New person tried to troubleshoot the app, perhaps not knowing the shared network drive existed. So boss asks if I've already written a specific procedure for this specific app when having this specific error caused by this specific problem.
I'm just like, no, I can't write a procedure detailing every conceivable error that can happen on every one of 50+ vendors we deal with, lol.
The IT person is supposed to know how to troubleshoot issues, not just read from a procedure book encyclopedia written by the previous IT person!
