Is requesting vacation 2.5 months apart acceptable?

[Anonymous]

I want to take another vacation coming up. I plan on giving a months notice. Right now it's been 1.5 months since my last vacation but it will be 2.5 months by the time it gets here. We have to use our vacation by a certain time or we automatically lose it. We still have time before that happens though. I still kind of feel ridiculous asking for vacation again. It kind of feels like I just got off of my last one in some ways. I feel like a lazy employee in some ways. Like my boss is going to go, he wants vacation again? Is this just ridiculous, over worked American culture that has me feeling bad for taking vacation time? I feel guilty putting in a request.

Not too soon. Your entitled to use pto.

A bit too soon

What is this fucking country you live in?

How many days annual leave do you have per year? This year I had 36.

I expect to take a week off every 6 weeks or so.

It depends on the employer honestly, but I feel most wouldn't like that. Maybe take it right before your deadline

Taking your vacation two and a half months apart is completely acceptable, especially if your company's policy encourages using vacation days to avoid losing them. Utilizing your allotted time is important for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Instead of feeling guilty, consider it a necessary break to recharge, which ultimately benefits your productivity. Communicate with your boss clearly and provide ample notice, ensuring a smooth transition and coverage during your absence. Enjoy your time off guilt-free! 🌴✨

I think you should probably develop a better relationship with your boss so you can have honest conversations.
