No Break

Tariq requests two days off to celebrate Eid. During a team resource-planning meeting, the project manager sighs and says, "Tariq, taking off right during the sprint freeze is really tough on the team. Can’t you just celebrate over the weekend? We didn’t take extra time off for Christmas, we just used the standard company holidays." Tariq looks uncomfortable trying to defend the significance of the holiday to a manager who is clearly frustrated.
