The Irrelevant Benefit II

If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. What work benefit are you not taking advantage of? The most common is probably vacation. When I was employed I couldn't believe how many people had weeks of banked vacation to use up. I was always at the other extreme, looking for more.
Why do people make their vacation irrelevant? Maybe fear of leaving and coming back to even more work to do. Or not having a social life to make a vacation worthwhile. Or a perception that taking a vacation will result in the company collapse.
All these reasons are not good ones for not taking vacation. In fact, if you are indispensible, there is something seriously wrong with your company.
What can you do if your boss is saying this is a "bad time" to take vacation? Ask when a good time is. If that question is met with silence, then any time is a "good time" to make your vacation relevant.
