I don't think so, a vacation would be longer than just one to two weeks.
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.
It's to punish/exclude people with chronic illness, i can't see any other reason
They don't trust workers not to fake it.
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.
And after 28 days you are chased down by rabid cannibal gammons.
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.
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.
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.
