Have a rotation that's 18 shifts in 1 month. Pretty nice I know.
Had 1 week vacation during this month. I found out I still am scheduled for 18 shifts, they're just compressed into 3 weeks rather than 4. Is this normal practice? Can't think of many jobs that basically ignore your vacation week and just pile on the work to the rest of your schedule.
I will say I know this isn't a coincidence ("maybe you were scheduled for that entire week off coincidentally since you only worked 18 days") because everyone I've talked to that had their vacation fall on this rotation had the same thing happen to them, and those that worked the entire month never had an entire week off straight.
Anyway, not really a big deal just curious to hear other people's response to this. Sounds like BS exploitation of residents to me but not enough to actually do something about it.
