Awesome. Thanks for helping me see your viewpoint - it's likely a very minor difference in cultural expectations. It's super cool to see how our bros (other siblings descriptors are available) from the continent work around things.

I've worked for a number of organisations in my time too, and one common theme - very much like yours - is that protections against pre-booked time off are pretty strong. Whether it's being paid double-time; having three times your cancelled leave days refunded for each day you were recalled; or generally just giving you a bonus payment - it's gotta be pretty fuckin' wild for someone to be instructed back to work from pre-booked leave.

As you have alluded to though, communication is key ๐Ÿ˜Š
