How does the holiday weekend impact your quota? Still the same? It's still the same for me, which I feel is unfair.

It likely depends on the sales cycle. If the sales cycle is short ( <= 1 month), the impact is understandable. If it’s a quarter or beyond a sales rep could plan for that in advance. Irrespective a sales organization should be able to plan for such a dip in advance. Not to mention most industries see a dip at the beginning of summer, something which is usually planned for in advance.

You know the 4th is coming, just like Christmas will fall on the same day every year. Make a plan that accounts for this.

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.
