[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to any swim meet, scout meeting, etc. All kids activities are run by moms with flexible jobs (me included). My supervisor cares that I meet my deliverables, not how, when, or where I do it. I have enough seniority that I can front load my meetings before camp pickup/swim meet/whatever, and work from the beach as needed. I was selective when I mommy tracked and while I may not be using my Ivy degree to it’s fullest, there’s only one of me at my office and I can set my terms and work pretty much completely independently without micromanaging.[/quote]

That’s different than a month+ out of the country and you know it.[/quote]

From the OP, we don't know whether OP's friend was working while abroad or taking a full month off. I'll be doing a combo of that this summer - out of town for a full month, but having some weeks completely off and working from wherever we'll be the other weeks.[b] But I agree that it is outside the scope of standard US business practice to take a full month of leave without extenuating circumstances[/b]. [/quote]

This. And it’s laughable for people to suggest anyone who wants to can just go out and find a job that allows 4 consecutive weeks off at one time.[/quote]
