Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 day agoThey say that there’s no leave available. Too many other people want it around that time.
But like…why is a month’s warning not long enough to avoid that? How quick off the mark do I need to be?

I can understand that reason being given once, but it sounds like a resourcing issue to me if it’s happened to you over and over. You can’t be expected to know when you want a few days of leave several months in advance.

100% a staffing issue. We’re chronically stretched
It’s become an issue since they changed up the leave booking system too, It used to be reviewed by a person, now it’s automated…and the leave-bot says no to things

Automating leave requests is ridiculous. It sounds like once an arbitrary number of staff are on leave on any given day, you get rejected? A business running on not enough staff is not your problem.
