Apparently unpopular opinion at my workplace: people are entitled to take the leave that we earn, even on a Friday or Monday.
I am a manager of a small team. I trust and value my employees and I allow them to take time off whenever they want/need to, for whatever reason. We earn a certain number of sick, personal, and vacation hours each month so as long as they are not in the negative, it's none of my business why they are taking time off.
I got into a heated conversation with a peer who manages another team in my department. She was considering writing up an employee for regularly taking Fridays and Mondays off. I asked if the person was out of accrued time and they said no. But the other manager thinks that "if the employee can take so much time off, they must not have enough work to do."
What utter nonsense. I actually got really pissed and told the other manager to get tf over it. If the employee is getting their work done, why shouldn't they take the time they're entitled to? The other managers looked at me like I had lost my damn mind or something. Apparently treating people with respect and like actual human beings is a novel concept.
