[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it works for you then it's reasonable. 
I am a supervisor in a high-stress job and people who are clearly burnt out but won't take leave irritate the crap out of me. If you are able to function well with your current leave schedule that's fine. Are you losing leave though?[/quote]

Yeah, I function best when I get a solid break to enjoy my family.  I do CPS work and I'm dealing with trauma every day and part of my self care is looking forward to and taking vacation.

My agency is small and all my co-workers take minimum a solid week long vacation every year plus a long weekend here and there along with extra holiday vacation.  One co-worker also takes 2-3 days for each of her children's birthdays, a few days for spring break, and a full week off at Christmas (so she is off for usually about 2 weeks during that time).  She is close with my supervisor so it is not an issue and I always cover for my co-workers but if I want to take leave then we've got a problem.  He gives me a hard time every, single time I want to take any paid annual leave.  [/quote]
