    I can’t think of a place I’ve worked at, ever, that was ever happy(or even really willing) to approve a multi-day vacation with under 2 weeks notice outside of an emergency. Especially around a holiday that some parents have possibly put in for months ahead of time to guarantee a day with their kid(s).

    Hell, even if it’s a single day thing, they’d prefer you’d put in at least a week ahead of time so the schedule can be adjusted before it’s set in the system.

      That’s my point. She doesn’t care about community or giving back. Most people cannot schedule a vacation within 7 days to manage work, life responsibilities, secure boarding for pets, hell-even for groceries-what are you going to do bring it all with you? If I know we’re gone for 3-5 days I won’t buy groceries for those days. People need to budget and plan-especially woth the cost of living now. She’s so out of touch.

        I think it’s just a little scary for anyone who will win because it basically makes it so that everyone who follows TBP (over 2 million) knows where the contest winners will be and that won’t be home for those days.Not safe :(.I mean there are scary people out there, and knowing the address and everything? Knowing what it looks like AND when they’ll be there? Very very unsafe practices. Hopefully it’s to somebody who has a private account and doesn’t post their family online so that they can be safe. I personally feel like this is a great brand strategy, because there are several followers who will rent it just to do social media content, and of course, there will be businesses that will be able to use it and it’s another income for their family. It really does suck when people are scrimping and saving to see that people can afford second properties that then become income properties but that’s just the way of the world and hopefully we can call out things like this and the redistribution of wealth a little more often. But I really hope they don’t announce who won and what days they took the cottage until after it’s over to keep everybody safe. So if there is an a friend of the family, or someone who reports back to her about these snarks, maybe mention that because nobody needs to or deserves to be doxxed on vacation. Also, with random people from the app coming in to say things that might upset others, remember use your block feature. It’s what we’ve all being doing to celebs and it’s a great feature.

          This is such a great point. I don’t think anyone’s considered the lack of security they will have if they win. She could’ve chosen to not disclose the dates publicly but nope.
