There used to be a guy on the forum who frequently posted under the user name 56k and 5 Vacay.

If you take vacation, and someone covers your empty shifts, then you have to cover their vacation, you effectively are cheated of your days off. Yeah, you can get overtime covering your buddy's open shifts, but some people prefer the days off. That's what they were promised, that's what they should get, if that's what they want.
