Depending on the calendar and when vacation weeks start, this strategy is more effective some years than others. But it is spectacular. This is the true way to get Thanksgiving off... vacation slide. SUPP days and all that are fine but far more rare than the vacation slide tool which nearly all of us can use.
If that works then wouldn't you have been guaranteed to have gotten those days off anyway? There's a lot of hype about the "slide" but if you have to be able to hold those days off anyway in order to get them on a slide then what's the big deal?
