It's funny. Certain TMs at my store are deemed irreplaceable. No matter how bad payroll is we are always given our hours. It's nice to be one of them most of the time. However, it's extremely difficult to get approval for time off. And, the one, I repeat one, time that I called in resulted in a major hassle.
Of course, it's not that I'm truly irreplaceable. Everyone in retail is. It's just it would be difficult for the store to find someone who could do what I do as well as I do it. It's both a blessing and a curse. I like the hours, but I wouldn't mind being one of the slackers every once in awhile.
