What is the correct system for allocating annual leave?

Post by Dorset Plodder »

We put everyone's name in a hat and then have a draw to see whose got what leave :nana We don't really ;liar but we might as well do to avoid the annual clusterfuck that is "Leave Allocation"! :arrrghhh

Like most posters on here, I'd just like a CLEAR & TRANSPARENT system...whatever it is! The only system that I can perceive is: Those that whinge the loudest, and most often, get the leave that they want! As soon as the first pick is done (in theory because there's still people who haven't picked) the same old faces are sneaking into the DOMs office before he can even get his coat off, bending his ear about what weeks they NEED for the next pick. I suppose it's a case of "The squeaky wheel gets the oil"? :cuppa
