[QUOTE="busywend, post: 599709, member: 391"] SuZir.....Europeans are much smarter than Americans! We just can't seem to figure out how to make this happen. It just happens that I have been at my company for 24 years and get 5 weeks of vacation every year....I usually carry over 2-3 so some years I have 8 weeks built up. Do you think I could take even 2 weeks off at once? Not likely. As it is, it is end of June - half the year is gone.....and I have taken 3 ( only 3) days off so far! Today I am off until July 8th...but only using 4 days of vacation due to July 4th holidays. For some reason Americans feel if you can be out of the office, than you are not a necessary employee. I don't know how it happened, but that is the feeling we all get if we are to be away for more than a few days. Sad. I LOVE that the feeling is inefficiency if you can not get your work done in normal working hours. I feel strongly about this. Problem is.....us Americans are so insecure, we do not pursue more efficiencies because we feel we will look stupid to co-workers. So, we do nothing to gain efficiency or consistency. Drives me batty!!! [/QUOTE]
