Casual reminder that staffing and scheduling is the manager's job. If you aren't a manager, your responsibility should be to tell your manager you can't come in, and it should end there.
I’m as pro-labor as they come - at my workplace, you have vacation time, personal time, sick time, and comp time banks, and some people choose to swap shifts in order to avoid using this time or in order to get time off after they’ve used all of their time off. There are reasons you might ask for coverage instead of offloading it to the manager!

That's not covering a shift. That's trading shifts.
