<p>i've just started working at a office (part-time) and i was wondering if it would be unprofessional or rude for me to take a one week vacation?</p>
<p>note: working only for the summer, just graduated from high school</p>
<p>I think it would be, but if you have a good reason, do it. Explain to them the situation.</p>
<p>Your boss can give you the best feedback on this. Don't you know your vacation policies? If your allowed one week for vacation and can use it anytime, I don't see it being unprofessional.</p>
<p>you have to ask the boss, it depends strictly on the job and how you approach it</p>
<p>Talk to your boss. My bosses wanted me to alert them of vacations ahead of time but were okay with it. You probably won't get fired either way.</p>
<p>How soon is the vacation? If it's next week, they're probably not going to respond to your request well. I work as well and we have to ask for time off at least two weeks in advance, sometimes more. I would say, go ahead and mention it now. "Sir, I wanted to let you know that my family and I are planning a one-week vacation later this summer and just wanted to make sure this was okay. Would taking the week of _____ off be problematic?"</p>
<p>As long as you let them know well ahead of time, it should be no problem. Most business rely on a schedule for labor. Usually it is written the week before the next. Let them know at least 2 weeks in advance and they should be able to work around things.</p>
<p>Both my kids let their employers know they go camping once or twice a summer with family. Neither employer has had a problem because of lead time.</p>
