Things are a bit...different here

Victor
Hi Stephan, I just got word that I'll be getting visitors from Canada in mid July. I would like to take a few days off if it will not affect the project schedule. Do you have any issues with this, or is there someone else I should speak to? Thank you!

Stephan
Doesn't matter if it affects project schedule, your private stuff is more important :) I've no arguess regarding this...But I think you should just send a mail tio Peter, to inform him which days you planning to "take off".....put me on as cc

Victor
Thank you!
Definitely a different approach here :)

Stephan
meaning ?

Victor
meaning at my previous company in Canada I would have had to schedule a vacation of more than 3 days a few months in advance, and even then it could be denied at last minute.

Stephan
