Guy was basically Brent (if you know you know) for a huge project. So on the 2st of Dec our boss phoned him and said he had 4 weeks to take before jan 1st. Brent’s responce was cool see you next year and was told no I can’t let you do that
We just looked at eacother in total amused confusion
Was it me? Because I had that conversation back in '10 or '11. I ended up taking most of it off then took off the rest after the project “off the books” (but with an email paper trail because I’ve been burned before).
I’ve got 9 weeks of vacation saved up, and I must take it you say?
Ok, I’ll see you in 9 weeks!
What do you mean, 9 week is too long to be gone? Make up your mind!
In my younger days I witnessed this conversation

Maybe. Did you move to Germany a couple years later?
Sadly I did not. I have visited but I was only there a few weeks to have beer and bratwurst.
I’m starting to think that there are a lot of managers who demand the impossible.
