" Company rules say only one employee in a department may be out on vacation at a time. This morning, I overheard my coworker say she wants to take the same week off I&amp;#039;d been mentally planning on. What do I do? Most likely, there&amp;#039;s a good reason for your company&amp;#039;s one-at-a-time mandate: It prevents the workplace from becoming too depleted. But it can also lead to scheduling nightmares during vacation-popular months. While beating your colleague to the punch may initially seem like a tempting option, it could also start a messy office feud. (She did, after all, make her announcement first.) You&amp;#039;re better off talking to your manager. If your vacation is a once-in-a-lifetime event (your dream trip to the Caribbean; your wedding), it&amp;#039;s reasonable to hope that the company could bend the rules. But be ready to reschedule (no whining, please!) if your request is denied. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
