No... it's not understandable! It has become a normal practice from management to recover leave by assigning upgrades, transfers, and whatever they can not to give you leave. Bad practices makes good people leave. Wake up! it's not going to improve. It was planned that way! It's been like that for years. I'm far from surprised. A good friend of mine keeps saying ... "Thank you for continuously reconfirm what I think about this place and this company"
What more do you need to convince you yourself of what it's all about. Wear the pink glasses, grab your pay check and be happy. When you're not happy anymore Halas you can leave !
In the mean time!
Keep recovering 👍🏻
