Is this a normal thing in the US? I live in the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation request denied in my whole life, even when I submit them with less than two weeks notice.
I had that in Germany once or twice, but it was always that I’ve put the request in on short notice, we were a pretty small team, so three people at once wasn’t quite possible. But it was always the young parents planning a vacation during school holidays with their kids, so I understand that this collided and took my vacation outside those holidays.
They’ll cancel the day of in some places within the US. Typically fast food and retail power tripping managers pull this because they don’t know how to utilize the crew they have. This is why we tell everyone never to answer work calls on your day off.
Same, the closest I’ve come is I’ve looked at the holiday rota and gone “wow it’s literally just me and the manager in that week, probably best to book the week before or after”
