have you worked at a job where it was impossible to take leave or it was frowned upon?
I worked at a place once where before I started (at the interview) I told them I had a holiday planned in 6 months, paid for...
A mate that worked there told me it was ballsy as he put in for annual leave giving 18 months notice and it had not yet been approved
Anyhow started work and then a few weeks before my holiday, the boss calls me in and says we are just too busy can you reschedule your trip. I said nope. I was the organiser and 14 others were coming. They came at me again but I was staunch about it, told you at interview. flights are paid etc etc.. So I took off on holiday.. Whilst I was gone I was badmouthed...
The way they reacted I was not going to stay so I ended up resigning to work elsewhere.. They immediately approved my mates leave who waited so long as they feared he would leave also..
I found out when his holiday come around, they tried the same trick on him to cancel leave.. put pressure on him.. He said Im going, you have known about it for 18 months... When he left they bad mouthed him that he wasn't committed, leaving them in the lurch. He ended up leaving shortly after..
Noone ever really took leave in that place but we went on holidays and stood up to the tyranny.
Is your workplace good about holidays or a nightmare.
