Do you have any blackout days for PTO where you can’t take off or you have to request a LONG time in advance and only like one person on your team can take off? I know UPS and FedEx have those around the holidays.

Nah, we don't have anything like that. I guess that's how you know your job isn't super important if you can theoretically take off time whenever haha. Our only rule is that we can't have too many team members taking off time at the same time, that's all

We somewhat have that but there’s just gotta be one person who doesn’t take off around a holiday as ‘coverage’ but usually this isn’t so bad since everyone is out and others know that nothing really gets requested of you during that week or few days off that everyone else took off

When I used to work at Parker Aerospace we weren’t allowed to take the two weeks off before financial year end.
