Rogers halts vacations
Managers at retail locations of Rogers Wireless, one of Canada's three major cellular companies, are being told not to take vacations during a specific period beginning later this month, a source from within the company claims. The "blackout" stretch is said to extend from June 23rd through July 16th, although no reason for the dates has been given. Apple is widely expected to announce the 3G iPhone on Monday, however, and Rogers has confirmed that it will carry the iPhone "later this year."
A similar vacation blockage is alleged to have been imposed on AT&T staff in the US, with a slightly different timeframe falling between June 15th and July 12th. This coincides with an anticipated launch period for the 3G iPhone, and the release date of the original device, which debuted on June 29th of last year. AT&T employees were said to have been barred from vacations then as well.

well, of course
But probably because management wants to take vacations and they need to make sure someone's working at the stores...
