Not not only their second home, but with a stay at home wife, three kids named Junior, a family dog, two cars, two weeks of vacation a year, and a retirement plan, all for 40 hours a week uneducated labor repairing vacuum cleaners.
two weeks of vacation time a YEAR?? What hellworld are you yanks living in?!
Shit I haven't had a vacation in 3 years since my honeymoon, and mainly because 1) money, 2) time. I make decent money doing my own thing as an electrician, but costs have spiraled so far out of control that I'm working my ass off just to keep us afloat. I've been contemplating hanging that up and getting a job just to get healthcare and retirement, of which I can't afford if I want to stay competitive in my pricing.
There is no guaranteed paid time off here in the states, it's a "benefit" of whatever company someone works at (including federal holidays). And even then, many people are guilted into not taking their allocated time off for fear of very real reprisal (missing out on promotions, etc).
It's really fucked up and I don't wanna play anymore.
I get one business week, 40 hours of vacation accumulated a year at my current job.
You know you are in deep shit when your vacation time is measured in hours.
I'm just so, so sorry.
That guy isn't the standard, most of the US gets time and a half on federal holidays and you're days off are the ones scheduled on the calendar.
jfc...
I get 3 but it's accrued
Funny, most Boomers in the UK are dirt poor and live in a tiny rented terrace.
2+ weeks of time off is still normal isn't it? That's not that much
My state is one of the few that guarantees paid time off. At minimum we get 1 hour of PTO for every 40 hours worked, so that works out to about a week and a half of combined sick leave and vacation.
Yes, but most places have gone to accrued time because that way most people will use a good chunk of it before summer on various other things.
And a girlfriend and a mistress, don't forget those.
