I like two weeks of vacation. Just enough to lose track of time, and just small enough so you can do multiple per year. With 25 holidays / year I get two smaller vacations and a few days off here and there.
I kinda lucked out with my career choice and the time I started. I work for an unspecified airline and bid for a monthly schedule. Average 15-20 days off a month (not consecutively). Not out of the goodness of their corporate hearts of course. Legally I can only work 1000 hours in a year, and 100 hours in a month. The FAA has determined that exceeding those hours is detrimental to one’s mental wellbeing.
Unpaid vacation is fairly simple, just drop/trade shifts till you something that works. Can’t get too into detail about how paid vacation works for opsec reasons since the union bargaining agreements are easily searchable, but I can get about 20 paid days a year. So I get a month off a year with most of it paid.
Me and my mom split the cost of a weekend at the beach every summer, and this year we had to put it on hold because of money being tight lol. 0 paid days off for anything here. If I don’t work i don’t get paid. And even the unpaid days off are limited. Feels great to be living in the richest country in the history of the world.
So, a vacation?
Half a vacation, actually
I like two weeks of vacation. Just enough to lose track of time, and just small enough so you can do multiple per year. With 25 holidays / year I get two smaller vacations and a few days off here and there.
I can do that too!
…If and only if I quit my job every year.
Tell us you aren’t American without saying “I’m not American”
Ahahahahahahahahaha, I get 11 days a year
I don’t think so, a vacation would be longer than just one to two weeks.
I guess I’ve never been on a vacation. Most I’ve ever had off work in a row is ~1 week and that was both tough to arrange and wiped out my PTO days.
are you european because this sounds so european to say
We have 20 days a year here at my non european country
That’s the EU minimum. Which is two 2 week vacations per 12 months or one 4 week vacation.
UK gives 28 days which translates to 5.6 weeks paid leave per year.
I get 35 days. And unlimited paid sick days.
That’s really fucking good
I never got limiting sick days. I don’t choose to be ill.
They don’t trust workers not to fake it.
It’s to punish/exclude people with chronic illness, i can’t see any other reason

And after 28 days you are chased down by rabid cannibal gammons.

lmao not in shithole America
When I had literally months of leave owing I still usually took it around 2 weeks at a time, nothing wrong with that.
