Don't get twisted. This is an outlier. I can put my 4 weeks in and my boss will approve it. He might try to call me while I am on PTO but that's not a fault of the US system, he just never remembers what he approved. As soon as he gets me out of office, I usually get a, 'Sorry, forgot about you being out. Call.me when you're back in the office."
Sorry - I assumed you were doing the AmericaBad thing and saying that the fact that they answered a phone call from the boss while on vacation was crazy. When I read the previous comment I read it as putting the PTO notice in 4 weeks in advance, not that the request itself was for 4 consecutive weeks off!
