It depends on whether there are enough slots.
It might be nice to have a friday off but if you book 5 separate fridays it blocks 5 full leave weeks.
I would imagine if you're last on the leave pick and you can't get a full week off because somebody has bagged every friday you're going to be pissed off.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
