So I'm at work and I'm about to start working a different schedule than the one I've been on for the past few months. This is all well and good, and I've known about it for several months at this point. As the day of the change approaches I'm talking to my manager about some other stuff and he says "By the way what was your new schedule again? Because what you told me the last time we talked about it doesn't match what's in the system."
Turns out someone fricked up the paperwork and my new schedule in the system is slightly off from what was in the announcement months back. While slightly less convenient, it's barely different from what I was already expecting so I'm thinking okay whatever. I just really really REALLY need my time off requests that I put in forever ago adjusted to match the new schedule.
Apparently this is not a simple ask. I got pulled into chief HR's office at the end of the day and was informed that the issue had been passed all the way up to corporate legal and they were going to offer to honor the schedule I was originally presented with in the announcement "as a gesture of goodwill (please don't sue us)". I declined and made it clear that I reeeeeaaaaallly don't give a shit about the minor schedule adjustment, I just need my PTO moved. Response was "we technically still can't force that through, you'll have to get $other_department to override it for you if you decide to keep the adjusted schedule."
So now the shitty part is that I know exactly who fricked up the paperwork and I'm worried that I've made enemies out of her entire chain of command. And all for nothing, because I still don't have a guarantee that I'll get my time off. I just wanted my fricking PTO fixed.
This is at a fortune 100 megacorp (doebeit at a very low level because I am an unambitious lazy r-slur).

There is a pale petite ginger working on my floor and I really want to frick her. Haven't ever talked to her but have a meeting on Monday with her in it I'm nervous
Yesterday she was wearing a white shirt and I could see her tiny little boobs and nipples through it
The slender female form is Literally the most beautiful thing in the world

I have a not-pale regular tan dyed red fake ginger that sits in the next cube cluster over from me that I want to
(she is very normal looking all things considered, skinny by burger standards) but she's like 5 years older than me (so 30ish) so it's not gonna happen

In Europe we have a saying: "I'm going on holidays on these dates.

Yeah if it comes down to it I'm just not going to show up, my numbers are so good that my direct manager and his own direct manager above him will automatically side with me on this (which is part of why my manager tried to get this fixed for me so quickly in the first place)
It's just an r-slured process

!tradies, do cubicucks really have to ask to not show up to work? They can't just say "I'm not going to be here X (Day/Week), if that's a problem, it's your problem." like I do when I need time off?

One time I was asked to fill out a "request form" for time off. After I filled it out, I gave it to my superviser and told him it's not a request form, it's a demand form. He laughed. I've never heard of anyone else having to fill one out, so maybe he was just fricking with me. He also made up an MSDS for Old Milwaukee.

I do white collar shit and that's basically what I do. Technically I "request" the time off but I've never been told "no" and if they ever DID try telling me "no"... like I'm still not showing up lmao. I'm not asking for permission I'm just informing you that I'll be out on these dates.

I missed a call from our CEO recently because I was hecking off at home. He texted and asked if everything was ok, heard I had taken the day off. I called and explained I had found out the day prior I wanted to stay home that day. LOL I hope I don't end up in a job where the time off request form is actually a REQUEST form

We actually have a very large in-house tradie workforce (probably between a third and half of total non-contract employees) due to the nature of the industry (I am basically a dispatcher for them in my current role) and I'm thinking about transitioning to that next year if I still feel up to it because they get paid significantly more than us frontline officecels do. I have to stay in my cubecuck position until the end of this year for some of my retirement benefits to vest. Given that I already know how all of the back end office systems work and am fit by burger standards it would be a very easy transition, I'd just have to learn how to use a power drill. I have talked about this with my DM's DM and he wants me to do it (he did it himself for like 20 years before moving to the office to spend more time with his family). Corporate America is underrated, as long as you're competent and a Chill Guy people will generally advise you on the optimal paths to take.
