Ask HN: Can you take more than 2 consecutive weeks of vacation? (derp.foo)

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

For context, I work in a US startup. I wanted to take 3 weeks of vacation to visit my family on the other side of the earth. But I was told by my manager that I need to work remotely during 1 of the 3 weeks, in order to follow the convention.

Is there an unspoken rule/etiquette to take no more than 2 consecutive weeks of vacation?

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

If you have the time. Take the time. Or, find a new job.

When I requested 3 I found out that anything under 2 would go through an automated process but over 2 would trigger HR to get involved and approve.
