Just yesterday there was a post with many posters writing something like “When I apply for vacation it's just telling the company when it is” and many agree.
I just don't get it, from the employee or employer side. Things need to be planned, and there might be a conflict in who takes vacation when and not everyone will like it but that's is when the manager needs to decide
Then there is also some posters talking about how great vacation policy is in Europe, but it's no different here. We also need to apply for some dates and the manager needs to approve it and then manage the schedule.
I mean, how would it realistically work otherwise? That is literally her/his job, to plan resources and work, but that requires you to know what is up and coming.
can someone explain this? Do I miss something or are people just writing some oneliner on internet?
