if you ask to trade anything with another fa via the scheduling portal, DO NOT make it weird for them when they simply choose to keep the position / trip they originally had
maybe this is an uncommon opinion, but I feel like it should be common decency.
you try to trade someone’s original position or trip and they are happy to trade = YAY.
you try and they don’t want it / don’t accept it = NOT THEIR PROBLEM, not something they need to bring up and apologize for. if anything, feel free to bring up that you wanted it but understand they wanted to keep their thing and THATS OKAY. it’s THEIR ASSIGNMENT, you were asking them a favor.
at the end of the day, this is a job. we don’t always want to go to work. sometimes the trip / position we get is what works best for us. last thing we need is to be treated bad all because we didn’t trade into something that we were never given that doesn’t work for us.
if others reading this disagree, idk, maybe i’m the crazy one but I feel like this should be common decency 🤷♀️
