[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I judge if you are adamant about specific dates even though you have no scheduled plans. I[b] have coworkers who schedule staycations during our busy season or during popular vacation weeks and it makes office coverage tougher than it has to be. I am not a work martyr but deliberately avoiding having to cover for your colleagues is dickish.[/b]

Otherwise, I don't care what you do on vacation. A staycation sounds nice.  [/quote]

Why is it okay for someone to schedule a vacation during a busy period but it's not okay to schedule a staycation?  The way to solve this problem is be consistent about leave policies.  Basically, block out the busy weeks and indicate that NO one can plan to take leave (for travel or for staycations) during those time periods.  Period.

It's also shortsighted to assume that people don't plan things during their staycations that require advance scheduling.  During my staycations, I still have scheduled plans (anything from vet visits to home repairs that have to be scheduled in advance to appointments, etc.)  It's ridiculous to assume that the only thing that requires specific dates are vacations that involve travel.
