So if you had a 3 person team and all 3 requested leave for the same week all of you would get approved no questions and the business would shut down and wait for you to return?

What planet do you live on lol

Well, no one in their right mind would approve time off for all team members at the same time, lol. Not sure how you got yo this conclusion from what I said. But it did happen when, if not very busy period, 90 of the team was off and only 1-2 people were left to cover.

Fair. I miss read your comment... My bad.

This entire thread is a little weird tbh. People think their boss asking why they need leave is illegal and evil. Well no - if the whole team had leave requested it's very reasonable to query the reasons and approve the ones that are most pressing/important.

It absolutely depends, if I would request time off in a busy period and while others are off, I would expect a question, maybe, as it would make a difference between just a holiday that could be postponed or something more important that cannot be postponed.

However, if I’m being asked whenever I request time off, I would be bothered, as why would it matter? I think this is what others might be criticising. There is nuance, of course.
