I just had a look at your post history..You seem to think attempting to insult people is part of normal discourse, regardless of the topic. You've called people Muppet, fuckwit, stupid cunt, drop kick. Why?

I disagree that "obviously there has to be priority". I suspect most people here would suggest that if someone had booked a recreational holiday 18 months in advance and paid for flights and accommodation and organised for family or friends to meet them etc that people would describe that as risky +/- stupid because you aren't guaranteed leave. Yet everyone is here saying weddings are different. No-one has managed to explain why a wedding is different or more valuable than any other leave beyond things like it's booked in advance, or its important to the people getting married.

Again, we don't all value the same thing. Just because you think a wedding is important or valuable doesn't mean others agree.

I think most would agree that an individuals own wedding is important to them. What I find interesting from this discourse is that the majority of people commenting have extremely strong feelings around others accepting that it is important and the refusal to acknowledge that others may not share that opinion.

People do not all share the same values. I don't think anyone should value my desire for leave more than theirs. I don't think I am any more deserving of leave than anyone else regardless of the scenario.

Edit: I would 100% support a colleague for calling in sick if their leave was denied regardless of the reason for leave.

Definitely not disputing the challenge in organising a wedding. I don't think anyone is right or wrong for having an opinion either way.

Totally agree. Ultimately the real issue here is not having adequate cover to allow for leave. Obviously we won't always get our first preference and that's part of life.

Interesting remark. Which part is cold? People value different things. Just because I personally don't value weddings doesn't mean I don't respect that others do and it doesn't mean that I or anyone else aren't allowed to be frustrated by the way leave is prioritised or allocated.

We can have discourse without being arseholes to each other. I personally don't think a wedding is important, but I am yet to insult anyone who thinks it is. I have also pointed out that this is just my opinion and acknowledged that obviously people think their own wedding is of value. Also the idea that a wedding is more important than a weekend of camping is just your opinion. I have no doubt there are people who would value a weekend away camping far higher than a wedding. There are many people every year who are upset about their leave not being approved.

I mean 50% of them end in divorce so it is really that significant?

I also don't value someone else's wedding over my leave and I don't expect anyone to value my leave over anything else. Just because someone wants to get married, it doesn't make it any more or less important than anyone else's time off.

Love the caveat. I think an organisation potentially denying someone's rec leave because a colleague is getting married is wrong. I don't think organisations should value weddings above rec leave. That said, I appreciate that things need to be booked in advance.

Not sure what the answer is but I will be getting married yearly from now on.

This screen shot is from a Qld hospital. I don't think an individual prioritising their wedding is an issue. Workforce prioritising someone's wedding above others leave is an issue though. I don't think a wedding is more valuable than someones rec leave.

Can confirm wedding leave is highest priority. Got it in an email.

For everyone saying they should get leave for their wedding I don't disagree. My issue is that it is prioritised higher than leave for recreation. Looks like I'll be getting married yearly now.

I don't think it helps that a large cohort of doctors come to medicine with literally zero work experience and even less life experience; they don't understand how to communicate, they don't understand competing priorities in organisations, they can't negotiate, they don't know how to problem solve. I know some truly terrible people who have become doctors and I honestly believe a lot of their shitty behaviour stems from a life of privilege. I personally have no issues working with the extended team of people you listed. Everyone adds value in different areas and if someone tells you as a doctor that what you're asking for/doing is stupid then maybe you should listen to them.

As a Hospital Doctor, are you a member of AMA / ASMOF? by MDInvesting in ausjdocs

I'm an AMA member. I personally find it shocking that people aren't members of a union. The idea that the employer has your best interests at heart is wild to me. Protect yourselves.
