[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]25 days off this year - 3/4 into the year - is 5 weeks. If they get 6 weeks of vacation that makes sense because there are only three months left and spring break and summer break are over and lots of holidays are coming up. If they get 7-8 weeks of vacation that's about right in terms of spacing. Some people do get that much vacation.

And if they can WFH, sometimes it looks like someone if "off" when really they're just taking a walk in between calls or running to the store.

I have a FT job an you can catch me in yoga pants at 10am or 2pm a lot during the week in my yard or neighborhood. Believe me, I work A LOT.

My husband often doesn't take off when we travel. He works from family's houses or sometimes on shorter vacations (like short beach trips).

Is it finance that gets 8 weeks off a year? Or another industry?  Govies only get 5, and they are touted as getting too much leave.

40 days sounds insane, most companies I’ve worked at had a hard cap.

Govies get 5 weeks after 15 years! You start with 13 days. I'm 11 years in at 4 weeks.

I'd love to move to one of these companies with more generous leave. More important to me that money. But instead when I'm applying I'm seeing everyone starting with 10 days, which is...pretty bad. [/quote]
