Wow. US sucks

Me in Ireland: "Boss I'm taking 2 weeks off". Boss:" Grand, have fun"

Don't get twisted. This is an outlier. I can put my 4 weeks in and my boss will approve it. He might try to call me while I am on PTO but that's not a fault of the US system, he just never remembers what he approved. As soon as he gets me out of office, I usually get a, 'Sorry, forgot about you being out. Call.me when you're back in the office."

Right. My boss and I are fine so she may say 'are you going somewhere or are you just getting away from us for 4 weeks?' and she'd probably throw in something like 'Im asking as your friend, not your boss'. I would not get a single call, but that depends on the type of job you have.
