[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op you suck. It’s not ‘asking’ to take time off, they’re not your slaves. They are telling you they will be gone. Stop being a jerk.[/quote] NP. That’s not accurate. Vacation requests need to be approved. You don’t “tell” anyone you’ll be gone…despite how much you wish you could. When you are a partner, principal or owner, you can “tell.” Until then you ask, like everyone else. [/quote] +1. Some of you clearly don’t work in the private sector. I’ve never had a job where I didn’t have to seek manager’s approval to take time off. [/quote] I work in the private sector at a director level. I tell my leadership when I will be out, and my team tells me when they will be out. If multiple people are out at the same time, we work together to coordinate coverage / work ahead / adjust accordingly. People have earned their PTO and they should be able to use it for the things that are important to them. [/quote] You might be the only competent director here. I’m a VP at A f100 and this is how I expect everyone to operate. I even allow people to get days ‘advanced’ if they’re typically hard workers. My team maintains talent because I’m not in charge of what’s important to them. Everyone else in this thread, Get a clue.[/quote] PP you quoted. Without intending to start anything controversial, I'll also note that this is an area where I have found diversity among my team members to be really practical. With a team representing different cultures/religions and stages in life (kids, no kids, various ages, etc.), I typically have employees who are around and able to cover for each other on major holidays, school breaks/days off, etc. I didn't plan for that intentionally, but I've found it to beneficial in this regard.[/quote]
