I wouldn’t say it is taboo, but if I’m responsible for the product I would want to make sure everything goes well, I know that I might have hard time to disconnect.
I value too much private time, and wouldn’t be able relax nor want to disturb my vacation
+1 for this. Post-launch PTO is way more relaxing 💤
Well, it is not great, to be honest. I mean if you have a family emergency, you can probably justify taking the time off but if you are just going on a vacation or something, then you might want to consider postponing the trip if possible, it does not reflect well on you to take to before a big launch
That's true too there were a lot of postponed dates recently so it wouldn't have been fair
Not that I consider it a taboo but I think it's irresponsible if not selfish. It affects the entire production. As the launch approaches the stress is at all time high, last minute changes on top of it and personally, I can't see myself having the time off while the entire team is buckling down to have a successful launch, not to mention the extra work they have to put in for an absence. Postponing is the best option from what I can see.

No, if you are comfortable with the Readiness of the release and are sure you can enjoy your PTO, take it.
Nothing stops for us, so do not feel obligated to wait till the release is done, especially if everything is already set to go.

I'll be very honest - I have seen how companies look out for themselves first. And people like me, and many here who commented would change plans in a heartbeat to support the release and lose out on mental health, me time or family time or something else. And yet won't always get the same consideration vice versa in most cases. If (God forbid) something like that happens, we will regret all the sacrifices we made, the time we missed. It's time we promote healthy working.
And I am 100% workaholic, so it takes a lot for me to follow through. But now that I lead people, it's my job to make them feel healthy and safe. So I am trying my best 🙂
Is it a major product launch or less notable? If it's something major, honest answer, YES.
Hmm. It depends on your reason. If it's really necessary or an emergency, you take the PTO.
