I do not take as much as I should. 5 weeks last year? For doctor’s appointments and stuff like that though, no one cares. You just let your boss and your team know. I am on salary, not contract.

i think that’s really the point - unlimited isn’t actually unlimited. unlimited means unspoken, and often variable limits based on the mood of managers

5 weeks is… pretty minimal

15 days is the limit at my job that you only get after 7 years working here. Seeing comments like this make me sad... Happy for you for sure, but sad for me cuz Murica'...

i guess the point is not to brag - it’s to rattle the cage and yell “THIS IS NOT NORMAL” and “IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS”

… there are lots of americans that just consider what they experience as normal, and that’s absolutely not normal for similarly privileged countries

… then you unionise and this forms part of your demands ;)

I have never been turned down for PTO in 7 years at this company, for what it’s worth. I just don’t take enough vacation. It’s my own fault.
