Get my free vacation tracker & never lose another vacation day again
Look at this poor girl (above) —
She’s tired.
She was in the office ’til 8:30 last night trying to get that cover design ready to show.
Then, she had to be back in the office for this morning’s 9:30am production meeting.
She hasn’t had a vacation (besides a personal day here-and-there) in... How long has it been…? 10 months? Could that be true? she wonders.
This girl needs a vacation!
It also looks like she’s afraid to ask for some time off.
She has all these reasons why she can’t take a vacation:
There’s too much work to do.
If I take a vacation, the piles of work that will be waiting for me when I return will be too much!
What if I go away and they see that they CAN run the place without me? I’ll be in the next round of layoffs.
My boss won’t think I’m serious about that promotion if I take a real vacation.
I read somewhere that just 10 vacation hours can increase an employee’s productivity and performance by 12% — Maybe I should mention that when I put in my vacation request.
Maybe I can take a vacation if I check my email while I’m away.
How many vacation days do I even have, anyway?
