Voluntary Mandatory rule - SLRPNK

‘…voluntary mandatory shift coverage.’

Someone should be gifted a dictionary for Supervisor Appreciation Day.

I totally understand the overall ridiculousness of this, but I suspect that “mandatory” and “voluntary” apply to 2 different people in this case. Person 1 has a “mandatory shift” and person 2 is supposed to voluntarily cover that person’s mandatory shift.
But it is mandatory because they get fired for not doing it.
Yeah, which is why I have “voluntarily” in italics.
