That seems to be highly dependent on location…we also have to coordinate with the needs of the company where i live, however we are still entitled to minimum 3 weeks vacation during summer (june-august) and at least two of them back to back regardless of the needs of the company.
If I were to put in two weeks back to back, there’s nothing they could legally do to stop me, true.
But since we don’t even have a union at my job, retaliation is guaranteed. Considering it took me the better part of five years to get the job in the first place, the result is that you unfortunately don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
Sounds like a crazy toxic workplace TBH, I have never worked somewhere where 3 weeks coherent summer vacation wasn’t the norm in the entire company, with the remaining 3 weeks at your disposal for the rest of the year. We’re generally not unionised in my profession where i live either, at least not in the private sector.
Also very dependent on the type of work you’re doing. If a certain amount of people need to be on site and you need to coordinate that, things get more difficult.

*the hand that steals 99.9% of the value you create and leaves you with a few crumbs.
