The issue is that you should have really taken the time off each year instead of letting it mount up. Whether you were not told about this in your contract or your manager didnt make an issue but is making an issue now is something only you can know BUT...... These holidays are backdated days off that you need to take. You won't get them back.

As we enter the new financial year you will have new holiday days and I'm sure you can take some holiday in the summer or whenever you are planning your holiday.

Even if you go nowhere on holiday, chill out at home. Have some fun. Go out to town, Do whatever you enjoy doing in your spare time. Since you are into wrestling why not catch up on some matches if that's your thing.

Obviously you want to keep your job so if I was you I'd take the 3 weeks off. You are lucky your manager is letting you take all the days off now. Some would have said tough luck you didnt take them so you cant have them.

If you are getting paid then there is no reason why you should not take the days off.

Think about it this way, a good break will make you relaxed and refreshed for when you start back.
