You want it done by the book, fine.
You don't have to tell me anything, I found it on my own
I have to apply like everyone else (reasonable), done
You want open availability, you got it
But, I do NOT trust you. I don't celebrate until I have it in writing, and I still 100% expect you to give me a shitty schedule just because you don't like me.
Even if you've been within your bounds to do this, you handled it wrong, and it's one more reason you're a bad manager.

You have ZERO reason to pass me over now, and you 've basically admitted as much. Whether I get it or not, I will probably be contacting your boss. Just to let him know how you're running things and why everyone else is just running.

Yep, it's weird, I'm just playing along, biding my time, and waiting to contact your boss
