[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 323449, member: 7185"] I do, too, Tie. I actually had a UPS supe tell me I couldn't take my vacation PERIOD, no matter when I had it scheduled. He backed down seconds later when I reminded him I hadn't been late in 9 months, hadn't asked for days off in 6 months, worked an unholy number of hours per week in the summer heat AND gone to school full-time. When he approved it, he said, "Hey, you do a great job for me. Thanks," and shook my hand. Good suggestion, Lifer. Usually, I don't make that clear of a point about my time off but its a great suggestion. I've never had a supe refuse to honor my vacation OR tell me, "You gotta cancel your vacation." When I was in retail, I was worried my boss might blow up my parent's home phone calling for me while I was on vacation but it never happened. When I was at UPS, I told my mother that if UPS called for me to get the name of the person calling, to give them my e-mail address but NOT the number to get a hold of me through and that it was her decision to call me to pass on a message. She nodded and said, "I'm not calling you to pass on messages from your boss while you're on vacation a thousand miles away. What can you do from there? No, it'll keep. I'll give them your e-mail address if they want to get a hold of you while you're out. Its up to you about calling them but I wouldn't." And I was NEVER disturbed on vacation by my boss. Eighteen months ago, I had to call my manager after I'd cemented the driver-helper job to put them on notice but other than that, I drop off the face of the earth when I'm on vacation. H*ll, I turn my phone off when I leave town! And it feels gooood! -Rocky [/QUOTE]
