Most I’ve taken off is a week! But it’s been a while since I have taken a full week off. I’d like to take more time off for an extended trip but not sure my team can cover for me that long!

I just googled and was able to do Umrah without any formal tours etc. Packed in a carry on only and it all worked out! Just need to have the right clothes + do laundry a few times.

Yes, I’m taking 10 days off to go to Dubai . I’ve also taken 3ish weeks off for Umrah + an additional trip (Turkey, Dubai, etc.) in the past and will be doing so later in the year .

Thank you! Yes, alhamdulillah for everything. IA you’re able to take some time off!

Yes I took 2 weeks off and another 2 weeks I worked from abroad. So 4 weeks in total which was pretty nice.

I went to visit Bangladesh after a couple of years this time it was with family so I wanted a little more time. I also took off about 12 days previous year for Umrah. Save up them pto days if you don’t have unlimited and don’t be afraid to use them! Also last month went to Niagara falls Canada for a week. Not much but enjoy it lol

How extended of a trip are we talking OP? I am taking ten days off next month to go to Lisbon, Portugal for seven days and then onto Paris, France for 3 days. And then I am off the weekend before and the weekend after obviously so that will be 14 days off work total and I am so stoked.

I really want to disconnect

I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
