Granted, but it’s a work retreat.

Your belly distends and you feel a horrible pain. Congratulations, it's a boy! Enjoy your two whole weeks of maternity leave. And don't worry about giving insufficient notice, your employer will just deduct it from your vacation time.

Oh god that's horrific. I love it. Immediate horror and oh god what have I done? Microwave regret available in 30 seconds or less.

Dammit, Johnson! I told you to sprinkle some crack on it!

Granted, it's bereavement leave. 10 full work days. And your company only offers 2 days paid leave for each death and only for immediate family members. My condolences on your losses.

Granted you broke your dick in half falling in the shower and have to use your vacation time to recover.

Granted, it's called gardening leave, and in 2 weeks you will be unemployed. Enjoy searching for jobs on your vacation

Granted, but the pay is minimum wage and stays that way when you come back.

Granted, it's a staycation since you've contracted COVID.

Granted. It’s a paid vacation, meaning you have to pay for it.

Granted. You get your paid two weeks, no strings attached. Your new job as a transmission tower climber has surprisingly decent benefits.
