This LPT is all dependent on the job. At my old job, no one could take any PTO during the blackout dates from mid november to early January. My current job, 80% of my office is out of vacation, it's only a few of us here and it's really slow. I don't mind this at all compared to my last job which was retail.

These slow days do feel like a holiday for me. I get paid to just keep the office open and answer the phones, i'm cool with that.
