This Issue's Dilemma:

Help! I'm getting ulcers from vacation requests

Murphy's Law is in full force along with the summer heat. Somehow, many employees on my team tend to request vacation on the same weeks. Last year, I struggled to decide who gets first dibs on popular vacation dates. The aftermath was nasty, and I don't want to go through that again.

Yes, I want to my team to take its well-deserved time off. But how can I be fair without leaving the business short-handed? Should I go by seniority, hold a drawing or what?
