When I was young I told colleagues I was on holiday. Later I succumbed to the fashion and I went on vacation. People with proper jobs now go on annual leave. I no longer have personnel dept to inform. Nor Even HR. Thankfully I never worked for Alamo car rental where it would have been Family Health
