Should vacation blackout days be illegal?

you are doing Kaizen wrong if you don't come up with huge efficiency gains

Maybe you'd be a happier person had you masturbated at the age of 14 to porn or Playboy/Penthouse whatever.

Maybe if we were more productive and not always wanting to take days off we wouldn't be in the shitter regarding our economy.

not even close to the reason our economy is fricked up, Americans work more than almost any other people in the world, by far

No. Not if the company believes that people being on vacation would negatively impact their business.

Most countries get way more vacation time than us.

This doesn't happen where I work. Working holidays comes with working in a place that is open 24/7. Even if I'm off for a holiday...I can't take off more than 4 days in a row (including the holiday) cause it's really busy that time of year at the hospital.

It's not a benefit, if you don't use it...

I'm with some others, "frick That, it's my vacation." If my boss is OK with it and I'm not putting my team in a bind, then I'm taking off.

Oh, we have. It also provided us with much better documentation to allow us to pull from other departments and get them running a little more easily than before. But it doesn't change the fact that I have a quarter of my team that suffers on a constant basis because of a majority that each miss a random two and a half days a month.

This. Deal with it. I fail to see how taking 40 hours off earlier in the year is any more productive than taking it during the holidays anyway. 40 hours is 40 hours.

Also, pretty much all my clients are slow during the holidays anyway so it's actually more convenient to take it while they're slow than it is while they're slammed.

I don't know anyone who gets off for a month. The most anyone I know gets is 2 weeks, and even then most people only get a few days.

I take off 3 weeks in December....because I have 6 weeks total(not counting carryover) and every other Friday off so I use the other days as needed. I usually carry 40 hours over to the next year every year.
