“I am a parent myself, but in my opinion, whoever is the most organized and schedules the time off first, should get the holiday,” she said.

Mitterbauer argues that “an employee without children might have just as valid reasons for wanting the same week off as another employee with children.”

Moreover, “Parents get enough notice about when the school holidays are, so there’s no excuse not to plan ahead,” the career coach concluded.

Many people supported Callie’s point of view
