[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's amazing how many heartless people are on this board. For those saying that the employee should have requested the annual leave beforehand, did you ever stop to think that maybe she's struggling with postpartum depression or another post delivery complication. Or like others have suggested, maybe her child care situation fell through at the last minute. [b]She's asking to take vacation time that she accrued, not a handout.[/b] For those saying she is making women looking bad for doing so, if it was a man going through a major medical procedure and asking for a little additional leave time I doubt you'd be so judgmental.[/quote]

And that's fine. AND just like every other employee who asks for vacation, it has to be approved by the boss. The boss has a responsibility to the organization to make sure there's enough coverage. Just because you ask for vacation time doesn't mean it gets approved. It's summer time, which is when many folks like to use their vacation time. If this employee wants to share that she is struggling with childcare or postpartum depression and that's why she needs to use her vacation, she can certainly do that and her boss can take that into account when making a decision whether to approve or not. But it's not okay for the boss to be expected to make guesses about that[b]. No one here knows why this employee is asking for vacation time[/b]. [/quote]

Because she just had a BABY. She created life.  She went through a traumatic experience and has hormones making her attached to the baby.  Gosh, I hate men. [/quote]
