- No option for adding international holiday *calendars* but US one is built-in. - No option to set different working hours per site (8 hours are NOT the default for EVERYONE). - Even if I edit my week starting on Sunday, bamboo still insists to call Sunday...

Unfortunately, the implementation and application are not as good as the offering of modules, implementation takes a very long time, and modules have many more restrictions for integration than we were initially sold.
