This should be standard everywhere. If you are in management and you cannot do without a person for a short period of time, you should look at yourself. But this leads into another issue, everyone wants the same time off. For example, now that it is January, people are rushing to the Vacation Scheduler to take days between Christmas and New Years. During that time, the most critical processing week where I work (Year End), lots of people are away. That puts mangers in a tough position, because in reality they can not deny vacation time. I really would not last long as a manger where I work, I would tell people no vacations during that period :)
