Congratulations to Management!

So, After working five shifts back to back in three days (only two more to go and I finally get a few days off to work on my book!) I finally brought up an issue with my managers that has been bothering me for a long time. They stated in a note to the staff that they are now scheduling around the talent, and all shift switches with another employee must be approved by them, no negotiations!! Well after attempting to switch one of my shifts (so I can watch Lost on Wednesday!) with a fellow employee, my managers denying the shift switch, and then me having to explain to the poor guy why he couldn't have my shift, I decided enough was enough! So I told management that people have been offended by this "scheduling around the talent" thing they have going on, and they are making people feel as if they are not talented enough for the job, management apologized to me, not him, and asked me to rewrite their little letter to make it sound less discriminatory. 

To put it into layman's terms: my boss wants me to fix his mistakes.
