How Much Vacation Do You Take Every Year?

I've worked mainly for major coporations and most give you two weeks to start and then you build on that the longer you are employed. When I worked for a bank we had to take two weeks at one time. (some law). They didn't tell me that during the interview and hiring. It really stinks when you only have two weeks and you can't spread it out.
I have been at this job for almost 25 years. We get 10 days to start then 3 weeks (15 business days) after 5 years, 5 personal days and the week between Christmas and New Years off, plus 6 holidays thru the year. We earn another 5 vacation days after 15 years employement and then 1 day for every year after 20years up to 25 yeras for a max of 25 earned vacation days. We can also purchase up to 5 days.
We aren't allowed to sell them.
Since I still have a child at home - although he is high school age - I take the majority of my vacation time in the summer. I reduce my work week to 4 days for the months of July and August then use the rest for family trips.
A few years back they encouraged us to buy additional vacation time - up to 10 days - to reduce overhead so the company could show a better profit. I jumped at the chance.
(There's always the chance they might forget who you are if you don't show up now and then - go figure

I thought this would be a useful thread to announce vacation periods, so us regulars will be known to be on/off. If another admin thinks this is stupid, go ahead and un-pin it. (1 Reply)

ods-timing(5) OpenDNSSEC timinig ods-timing(5) NAME
ods-timing - OpenDNSSEC timing specification SYNOPSIS
/etc/opendnssec/conf.xml /etc/opendnssec/kasp.xml /etc/opendnssec/zonelist.xml DESCRIPTION
The configuration files of OpenDNSSEC need to have timing descriptions, notably for periods. These descriptions follow ISO 8601 with exceptions for the duration of a month and a year, as these periods would be allowed to vary if ISO 8601 were strictly adhered to. Durations are represented by the format P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S. In these representations, the [n] is replaced by the value for each of the date and time elements that follow the [n]. Leading zeros are not required. The capital letters P, Y, M, W, D, T, H, M and S are desig- nators for each of the date and time elements and are not replaced P is the duration designator (historically called "period") placed at the start of the duration representation. Y is the year designator that follows the value for the number of years. M is the month designator that follows the value for the number of months. W is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks. D is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days. T is the time designator that precedes the time components of the representation. H is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours. M is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes. S is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds. For example, P3Y6M4DT12H30M5S represents a duration of "three years, six months, four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five sec- onds". Date and time elements including their designator may be omitted if their value is zero, and lower order elements may also be omit- ted for reduced precision. For example, P23DT23H and P4Y are both acceptable duration representations. EXCEPTION
A year or month vary in duration depending on the current date. For OpenDNSSEC, we assume fixed values One month is assumed to be 31 days. One year is assumed to be 365 days. This exception may or may not change in future releases of OpenDNSSEC. The reason for making this exception is to avoid complicating this software in a way that may not meet any practical need.
