Want Time Off for the Holidays? Request It Now.
American companies are notoriously stingy when it comes to paid time off. But if you are entitled to vacation time at work, you may be inclined to take it during the holiday season. This especially holds true if you have family in another state and need to travel to celebrate with loved ones. But if you're going to ask for days off in late November through the end of the calendar year, now's the time to get moving on that request. Wait much longer, and you'll risk getting denied.
Chances are, you're not the only one at your company who wants time off for the holidays. But if you don't get that request in quickly, you'll risk a scenario where your boss can't say yes because your team is already short-staffed. This especially holds true if things tend to get busy for your company around the end of the year, or if you're in a position where you're needed to complete tasks with an end-of-year deadline.
