I had put in a request for PTO 8 months out (Jan 2027) and was denied immediately bc 1 person on my shift is out. I work at a large hospital with 3 separate SPD departments and am confused why. There have been several instances this month where techs are floated among the three sites to cover PTO, LOAs and call outs. I feel that given the amount of time for the request should give management sufficient time to plan.

I am planning to speak with my manager and was looking for some insight if anyone has had a similar issue.
