Another one of the great things about all the PTO you get in Europe (mine is about 5 weeks/year) is that it happens so often among everybody, nobody bats an eye if you want to take time off.

In the US it is so rare and precious, sometimes it feels like you’re appealing the Supreme Court to get a specific week off.

i can hold up to about four weeks but so far this year I’ve only used two days due to manager vetoes.

No, I applied for vacation at a time when she was out of town and she doesn’t want overlapping vacations in the department.

Aha ok, depending how many employees you have and in specific department's, she has the right to decline some people I guess. Rolling vacations makes sense, instead of too many at once.

8 of us took vacation in July in our department (we trained our replacements the month before), and the rest in August or June etc. First group was in May.


Now some are being forced to take it out in September, the weird remaining group who don't wanna take vacation But the company says you have to take out some of your allotted vacation. The process of applying for it starts in January, so plenty of time to plan this shit.

Although, often times Eazy is correct, I have had issues with exactly what you're describing.

Sounds like a shitty boss if its just willy nilly vetoes. Doesnt give reason? For us unless we ask for day of or minor vacation in less then 2 weeks away from the date we want, they can't decline us. Unless special circumstances like during the pandemic.

I didn’t realize she had planned to be out that time. So it’s not a big deal. Now, I’ll probably just go home for thanksgiving and do an extended stay.

But it isn’t terribly strange for management to veto vacation if they find it conflicts with something. Doesn’t mean you lose it, just have to find another time.
