Vacation Time

[MarbleEyez]

Due to another thread, I'm curious what you guys do for a living and how much Vacation Time you get??!!

 

[Holmsvc]

I'm manger for a software company, I've been there for 9 years. I get 25 days a year.

 

[Kurtr]

In construction management i get 2 weeks but never have time to take it unless it is winter and then i still dont have time. But will be taking a week for the first tme i am going elk hunting this fall

 

[Ericb]

In insurance sales when I was a employee i got 3 wks per year. Now that im self-employed its any day as long as the bills are paid.

 

[martinslanding]

I only get 4 weeks...however every holiday the Fed is closed so are we...and I can pretty much take time off whenever I need...

 

[Ponyroper]

Retired two years ago but have two part time jobs just to make a little money for new toys. One job is full time running from about the end of April to the middle of June. The other is ad lib from the beginning of June to the end of October. Second job is when I feel like working and gives me a lot of flexibility to fish or prairie dog hunt whenever I want. In between I make hay for my horses and do yard work around home. My advice is don't work a day longer than you absolutely have to unless your job is more fun than your hobbies. Life is too short to die at your desk/tractor/wheel and you can't take your left over money with you. Your family won't love you any less if you die poor as long as you spend time with them while you're here.

 

[Vollmer]

Heavy construction foreman. 80 hours, but off every winter for 2-3 months.

 

[scrotcaster]

Appraiser.. No limit of vacation time but I get paid on how much I do so my vacation isn't necessary paid vacation, So depends on how much I wanna get paid and how the fish are biting.. Works great for me!

 

[DerHornen]

I get 15 days a year as a manufacturing engineer. After 10 years with the company it bumps up to 20 days.

 

[Yoby]

8yrs with my company. get 22 days a year plus holidays. We have a rule where you get to accrue 120hrs and anything after that you start loosing. Currently sitting at the use it or loose it.

Should also include this is PTO, so sick and vaca

 

[fullrut]

Parts/Service management for large farm. 19 years full time a couple winters part time before that. Max out at 640 hours. Paid holidays (pto reimbursed if working on holiday), bereavement leave, extended health issue leave. Due to the nature of my position it's hard to take more than a few days off at a time. Try to use up a couple weeks around Christmas and new years.

I work on commission, and earn residuals as long as my customers stay with me. I get zero vacation, but come and go as I please, at my own expense.
Most days I work

Ha ha, yah right!!!!:;:stirthepot::boxing::

 

[NJL]

I'm an Engineer for Northrop Grumman, Aerospace sector. Currently i get about 140 hrs of PTO a year. Come July I'll get a little bump in accrual as it'll mark 5 years on the job. In addition to 11 paid holidays, it's nice having xmas week off, paid. I also work as 4/10 schedule with extremely flexible hours, so i can take 4-5 day weekends without using any vacation. I can also work remotely if needed, which adds even more flexibility.

 

[D-Racer]

Much like Ponyroper, I retired 2 years ago, but did not pick up and side jobs, so I hope that the finances coordinate themselves with my hobbies and habits............therefore, 365 days of vacation.

 

[LBrandt]

Never had anyone do my work for me when I went on vacation. Always had to catch up when I got back, so I guess I have never had a vacation until I retired and that takes a little getting used to.:raisin:

 

[johnr]

Ha ha, yah right!!!!:;:stirthepot::boxing::

Haha excellent

 

[Wild and Free]

Mine coal for as long as the liberals will let us, accrue vaca at a rate of 5.5 hrs / 2 weeks and that increases yearly by a set amount, must use 80 hours a year or lose it no maximum on accrual amount.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

I work for the railroad. Only been there for two years. I get 80 hours. But freshly furloughed last Thursday so I guess the summer is mine. Before I got furloughed we bought kayaks for all five of us. Been out twice already. Gonna be a fun summer

 

[BDub]
