Vacation time

[202mphbusa]

for laughs I asked my work how much accrued vacation time I have
the answer 530 hours...but we can't afford to have to take any of it HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

When I retired from the military I had accrued enough leave for me to be off from Jan 1-late April...I went in the end of April to sign my release and I was gone...

I never understood why some people rarely take time off.
I have around 4 and a half weeks of vacation...and 9 hours left to use this year, lol.

For myself, I was deployed quite a bit so it was hard to take time off.

Add to this, in our military each time there is a statutory holiday, we would get the Friday (or Monday) added on to make it a 4 day weekend...

Military I get.
But I work with people that Lose Weeks every year just because they don't take it.

For many years of my life there was no redundancy provided to us. Every individual was a subject matter expert without backup but the operations were deemed critical. If I went on vacation I had a cell phone and was inevitably called. Then there was a massive pile of work waiting for when I got back. It was more painful to take time off then to not.

I can relate...but no longer care(unfortunately).
The company I work for has it's share of idiot management.
Bad parts? No problem, use them anyway.
Fine.
I hate to have a bad work ethic(not how I was raised), but after a while, and once drag your feet is accepted as much as bust your ass...people become comeplacent.
Ever met an Engineering Manager that Can't read a Vernier Scale/standard micrometer?? Nope...it's gotta be digital...spelled out.
My only desire to be rich is too no longer have to work with society...and to Choose the idiots I have to be around all day.

When you have a good chunk of your net worth tied up in a company you're part owner of you don't want to be away for to long at the time.

Im sitting on almost 700 hours of pto at work. I will stop accruing soon so i will start taking. I keep it high so if they decide i am no longer needed they owe me a ton of money to release me.

It depends who you work for, I haven’t been able to take more than one week per year and I’ve been here for nearly 14 years and have 826 hours sitting in the bank excluding time in lieu.

I’ve taken one day off and it’s been an absolute poop show when I get back so now I just don’t bother.

I spent three hours on the phone with my shop while at Loring

Hi. I have 233 hrs. I have to take 1 day or it stops counting. But when I am off one job I just go to 1 of my other jobs.

 

[GIXERHP]

Im on permanent vacation

 

[Mathewrussell52]

I can’t build it up so use or lose. So most the time it’s a week of working less. Full week off takes a week of catching up so most of the time it’s not worth it. But one week a year my boss pays for a vacation. The year before was Jamaica and this next year because of Covid it’s Orlando.

I have been with the same company now for 34 years and they provide me with 5 weeks of annual leave or you guys call it vacation leave ? a year plus I have accumulated over 1500 hours of long service leave which I have not used yet just saving it for a rainy day Just hope they don t force us to use it because the company now are forcing us to take annual leave if it goes above 300 hours I work 4 days on and 4 days off so I don t use much of my annual leaves
