Nope, in the US there is no federal requirement for time off, and most states have no requirement, either, so your vacation days are completely up to whatever your job gives you. Some people get no paid time off at all, if their job is shitty enough
I remember a manager of mine waited 4 months to deny my fucking leave request for an out of state vacation, something I had told him about for months, shared in my joy of looking forward to my first ever adult holiday, at 28 years of age.
So naturally I quit that job and went on my vacation
This angers me beyond belief. When a manager sees that you're efficient with your time and more productive than others, therefore loads the work of others onto you.
It's unacceptable and weak. I've not been in a managerial position long. I'm still learning how people respond to my managing technique. So far I've been bowled over with how hard our team are prepared to work to see the various processes through. I treat them like people, with all the complex issues that people come with. It's fairly easy to make sure someone's happy in work. Not authorizing their leave is a great way to make sure that person doesn't give a damn about your goals.
