Well, at my work, all of the regular decent people with consistent morals refuse leadership positions because that would mean they'd be responsible for this dumpster fire.

Meanwhile the actual leadership is the people who were to stupid to realize they could cause harm in a leadership position but were just smart enough to see they would make more money changing from hourly to salary.

And then they find out about 6 months into the new promotion that the company puts them on salary because in america that means they both don't need to be paid for overtime and can be fired if they refuse to do overtime.

Oh right this is about time off. At my company if you ask for a day off they will:

1. Guilt trip you into retracting the request.
2. Demand you find someone to cover your own shift, you know, like how a manager manages a team.
3. Demand you trade something for the day off like working an additional day or staying late other days.
4. Tell you that the date you asked for is in a "blackout period" where noone is allowed to take time off, sorry!

That last one, I had a job where the blackout period was from October through new years. Noone was permitted to take vacation time due to our "busy months".
