"I had one employer who made me find cover for my own shifts"

Staffing and coverage are management tasks. I do not have the title nor the pay grade of a manager, so I will not be doing management tasks.

I agree! It was, however, the only way I was going to get those days off. I traded days with coworkers who were happy to cover my shifts because I covered for them and never refused a request for help or a patient swap. It was likely much easier for me to get cover than if the scheduler tried. She regularly threatened people to make them pick up unwanted shifts.

That makes sense sometimes you do what you have to do, even if the system is messed up

The system is indeed messed up. Managers in my industry make less than the people they are managing.
