[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is he taking 5 weeks of vacation a year, and yet unable to watch his kids for any of it?

Many families use before and after care.  Or you could get an au pair, and have sick day/snow day coverage.

I think the question is whether you'd like to work.  [/quote]

I’m guessing a preplanned vacation works differently for his schedule than a random snow day. [/quote]

5 weeks vacation sounds like 1 week around Christmas/NewYears, 1 week Spring break, 2 weeks summer vacation and maybe give or take a long weekend or adding a day or two to the planned vacations I outlined. In all of those cases there’s lots of notice ahead of time.

He’s never in a position where he has an important meeting at 9am on Wednesday and his kid woke up with a fever at 7am.

Yeah, exactly. I worked for an exec who took off a week for spring break, a week for Thanksgiving, a week for Christmas, and a week for end of summer. I don't think he ever took a single other day off. Ever. [/quote]
