[QUOTE="konsole, post: 753508, member: 23965"] Norma, Go take a look at your sorts vacation schedule and see how few vacations were taken between October and May. Then ask yourself if the only explanation is people want to take the warm summer days off. They probably would prefer to not go 6 months without a vacation, its just that they know that in the back half of the vacation schedule they can take days whenever they feel like it. Listen maybe I am wrong, all I am doing is expressing my opinion based on what I see. No I do not think its as simple as people want to take their vacations in the summer, though this is probably part of the reason, I don't believe its the whole reason and I wanted to figure out what the rest of the reason was. You may feel that people should be taking all their vacations in the summer and not leaving any vacations for October-May but I myself would prefer not to go 6 months without a vacation. Don't hate me for simply making an observation but one other thing I noticed was that the people that take all their vacations before October and dont leave any for October-May aren't the best workers and generally really don't like the job.
