<prompt> Human: Good day, I got recruited for a position that is on a 2 weeks working, 1 week home turnaround in another province. This position is salary and I started in July but as part of the negotiations I had waved all my wait periods for benefits, pension contribution, etc.Now I found out there is a possibility that they are only closing for 2-4 days for Christmas which with travel will only give me 2 real days homeMy wife married a year has put up a with a lot over the last 4 years thats how long I have been working away so I feel bad that I might be leaving her alone so much over the holidays.Would it be unrealistic to ask for some days off at Christmas time where I just started, and as a salaried employee my one week off every two weeks is suppose to be my vacation.note my turn around currently puts me going home Christmas Day until New Years Day one week so I would be asking to go home on the 20-21st instead as one week isnt really that long when I am away from home so much of the year.  <response>: You can ask.They can say no.
