This is only an example of people being bad at their jobs or not caring if you are referring to the management/administration responsible for staffing and scheduling over that time period. The people who are actually out of the office are presumably using approved PTO.

[WalterBright]

Sure. LOL.

[ewhanley]

Nah, but for real - why wouldn't they take PTO?

[WalterBright]

Because they already used up their PTO?

Every place I have worked has had meticulously tracked PTO days that most people delayed taking until the end of the year; there were notably fewer people in the office in December.
