That’s been my entire career. You have to plan with your coworkers. Switch off holidays. Or someone takes off the week before Christmas and the other the week after

Yes I need to work out a schedule with my coworker
Block your calendar with PTO for Christmas 2026 starting now and send it to team members/manager
That comes down to planning ahead. You have to either talk to your coworker weeks or months ahead of time, or have your manager talk to you both. And a fair resolution can be established.

I’ll start planning next year so both of us can switch on and off in big holidays
Yep, this seems to happen to me every single year. It is beyond frustrating because everyone has family and friends they want to spend time with. I try not to let there be any tension but there sometimes is.
In other words, you’ve done nothing and don’t know what else to do. If you continue to let it be done to you, why and how do you expect things to change? It won’t change unless you do something to change it.
This happened to me the first year I was in corporate and ever since I make sure to block my calendar out months in advance
