[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, that’s true. I would be dead. But while I’m alive, I need to stay employed. Not being able to take a vacation as part of the job that I do…it’s not a big deal and people who think it’s a big deal just really are kind of spoiled. Hope he said that she can’t take a lot of vacation and there’s nothing wrong with that and that’s not a reason for her to quit a job. Surgeons work even more. [b]Stop acting like not having a vacation is a huge deal.[/b] I was trying to defend OP with her ambitious job when people were saying she should just take a new job because she can’t take vacation, which is insane for a lot of people. I know plenty of people who barely take vacation. I am not an anomaly and OP is not an anomaly. [/quote]

Wow, talk about Stockholm syndrome.  Not having a vacation is a big deal to most people.  [/quote]
It’s the [b]resort[/b] for the majority of people. Get out of your bubble. [/quote]

Yes, but not people in the PP's situation.  Most people can't afford to take a vacation, either because they don't have enough money, or work on an hourly basis, don't have paid vacation days, and can't afford to miss a paycheck (which amounts to the same thing).  We're not talking about them.

The PP has vacation days, has a good job, and hasn't mentioned any financial impediments to a vacation.  She is just too busy.  She's very, very important, and no one can do her job but her.  Maybe that's true, or maybe she is a martyr who is creating all of this pressure to make herself feel important, or make herself feel invaluable to her employer.  Either way, it is not normal, and shouldn't be normalized.  [/quote]
