As summer fades away, you're hopefully reflecting on a relaxing vacation you took over the past few months. Now, think about it: Were you scared to tell your boss? How about your colleagues? Putting off telling co-workers that you have a vacation planned is pretty common. As Karen Firestone, CEO of the investment firm Aureus Asset Management, wrote in Harvard Business Review, "As another summer comes to a close, I find myself noticing once again that my co-workers and employees have been very reluctant to both commit to a vacation and to communicate that time off to everyone else."  This isn't entirely surprising, if you think about it. Surveys have found that Americans are "scared" to go on vacation, and 40 percent of us don't even plan on using all of our paid time off.  "Fundamentally, what’s going on there is fear," Michael Leiter, a psychology professor at Acadia University who focuses on work attitudes, previously told HuffPost.
