QUESTION: Whenever my daughter “Alicia” tries to take time off, her manager interferes. Alicia has a responsible position in which she coordinates a variety of projects. She earns several weeks of vacation every year, but has difficulty using them.
If Alicia tries to plan a trip, her manager often asks her to cancel, sometimes at a moment’s notice. When she does get away, she still gets phone calls about problems with various projects. None of these matters are truly urgent.
I believe that management should try to work around Alicia’s vacation plans, but her boss clearly doesn’t feel this way. How can my daughter take some needed time off without fear of a last-minute cancellation or repeated interruptions?
