[quote=Anonymous]For the past 4 years I've been "trading" my vacation days for production credit at my fed job. We have the draconian system that ties "points" to each work item and every bi-week we are required to submit enough work product to amount to a minimum number of points. They have tied a certain number of hours to each work item. For example: response to an appeal brief is allowed 2 hours of work time. (spend more time writing the response means you are behind schedule). Because we have to account for 80 hours each bi-week with "points" we collect for each of those 80 hours if it takes me, for example, 8 hours to respond to a brief then I need to take 6 hours of "vacation" so that I'm only responsible for 74 hours worth of points that bi-week. We can always "work voluntary overtime" (that's what they call it - ha ha) but often 14 hour days isn't enough so the vacation time fills the gap. This sounds crazy but its the way it works.[/quote]
