It's actually depend on work culture or different countries. In western countires, long annual leave is a right. In singapore, you can take leave if you have cleared your work. :cry:

Interesting topic..
I think as long as someone can backup your current role.. you can take long leave..
Yet the main problem is that people do not feel safe that someone can cover their job, thus no effective delegation is done.

Hahahaha!!! Long Holiday!!! How I wish.
I've been working for almost 15 years but then I've no chance of enjoying such a long holiday( more than a month). The longest leave I took normaly 1 week and have to hassle so many interrogation( like commited some serious offence, le ). My admin always asked me to clear my annual leave when come to year end but my boss said you can take your leave and don't come back.
Then it is the wrong boss/dept/company to work for if the Boss can violate your basic rights....

Well, I travel on business during Hari Raya, Devapali, etc. So I claim those also :)

Ha Ha.. then it's back to ourselves.
You need to let go in order to have long holiday.. Work will not stop while you are on holiday.. someone needs to continue doing your job while you are away.
I believe it always start from you.. not your company or your boss.

Most Europeans, by law, have 6-8 weeks paid holiday a year.
