Ask HN: Can you take more than 2 consecutive weeks of vacation?

For context, I work in a US startup. I wanted to take 3 weeks of vacation to visit my family on the other side of the earth. But I was told by my manager that I need to work remotely during 1 of the 3 weeks, in order to follow the convention.

Is there an unspoken rule/etiquette to take no more than 2 consecutive weeks of vacation?

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

  • I work at MSFT (Azure Networking) and even though my org is permanently on fire - my manager has okayed multiple 3+ week PTO request from me this year. He shot one down and asked that I work part time during some of the leave, but still made it work overall.

    Start ups have a lot more constraints than these too-big-to-fail tech companies, but this still sounds like bullshit.

    Especially if this is one of the myriad start-ups that pitch unlimited PTO as part of their benefits.
