Cost is preventing some of us from taking long and lazy Summer vacations, and CNN reports that fear [1] is holding back some workers from planning a getaway. These employees have vacation days to spare, but are afraid their bosses will figure out a way to eliminate their jobs during their time away from the office.

Cindy Goodman, a Miami Herald columnist, has advice for worried workers: "If you're too afraid to ask for an extended vacation, plan four-day weekends or time off around holidays." Can you empathize with the fear of taking a vacation?
