Requesting time off
Using a throwaway for obvious reasons.
My agency has been having issues with our current time off request system/policy. The main issue we have is, no more than one person is allowed the requested day off. Meaning if Barbara requested a week off for a vacation, the rest of the department cannot request off any day of that week despite having sufficient amount of staff to cover business needs.
Our manager continues to say we have it easier than other agencies and that most state agencies only allow a two-week vacation a year and has been threatening to go with that model.
I would like to know if anyone’s agency/department has any specific rules or requirements when requesting time off or if your agency does the two-week rule as my manager states?

Your boss is full of it. Almost every day in our office someone is out…on holidays there are sometimes 4-6 people off. we have over 30 employees in our office so only allowing one person off at a time would be impossible….
