[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the role.  Europe is different.

In my company it would be looked down upon unless it was some kind of emergency because most areas need coverage.

I had a team mate take 2.5 weeks off and then they came back and a week later I was taking 2 weeks off.  I haven’t taken 2 weeks off in many years but I have all this banked time!  They are my deputy and knew they needed to be there when I was gone/ my OOO person.  They ended up taking 4 days when I was away.  Not because they were sick either.  It caused a huge issue and I was disrupted in my vacation.  So inconsiderate.

When I came back we talked again about how we need coverage and if they needed to take those days we needed to discuss before I left so that someone else could be the contact person.  This also isn’t the first time this has happened, I left and they thought no one would notice! Anyway, this person wants a promotion and won’t be getting one.

So I think you can’t spring it on your boss and need to ok with them and find someone else who is the point person if there is a huge issue.  But again I work in America and Europe is different.  [/quote]

Don’t give them leave then or higher more people.  Don’t blame the employee with leave to use.[/quote]

And yes I know it should be hire.[/quote]
