Companies like to staff as if nobody will ever be sick, have a baby, or go on vacation. Then, when those very normal things happen, they make this face while informing everyone that they’ll have to do a lot more work.
My kid is constantly arriving late at school because their school bus company that services an area of 2 million inhabitants can’t deal with the statistical certainty that a small fraction of their drivers will be absent at any given day. It’s basic workforce administration, and with an operation as large as theirs it’s actually easier and more economical to handle that than if they were a smaller company.
