5 fucking weeks?!?!?!?! Jesus tap dancing Christ! I'd love 5 weeks of vacation a year :?

I only get 5 paid days (1 work week) (which i'm taking 4 of them 1st week in July) and 5 paid sick days :? It's customary here to take "sick" days though :mrgreen:

Some placed though accumulate more vacation depending on how long you've worked for them. eventually topping out at 3-4weeks

I accumulate one day a month if I remember right.

Average work days are 8 hours long in Switzerland, not counting lunch break. So with a 1 hour lunch at noon, you'll work from 9 to 6, or 5 to 8... whatever time you come to work.

Vacation time is quite often 5 weeks, but this is nothing compared to what they offer in France, where vacation time is like 8 weeks for my colleagues, and they only need to work like 35 hours a day.

eh, vive la revolution! lol

They don't get paid as much as I do however.

I don't take a lot of vacation, which is why I've accumulated them over the years. Right now I have like 40 days of vacation which I "should" take, but I don't really have the time. I also usually work closer to 9-10 hours a day not counting other overtime which I might spend doing some troubleshooting at night, weekends, or during business trips where I easily work roughly 80-100 hours a week...

Unfortunately my company is reluctant to pay for overtime (so far I've managed to convince them ;) ), and I'd much rather they give me my vacation days in cash. I'm only planning to take one vacation trip (2 and a half weeks) this summer, so what the heck am I gonna do with the other +20 days?

Oh well...

i get three weeks..but i've worked there for several years to gather that. before now, it was none the first year, one week for the next wo years, two weeks last year, three this year.

i hate my job haha

vacation?? wtf..you shoemakers...lol
i think i get 2weeks...but first year working so no vacation...damn i miss freelancing.

2 Weeks + 1 Week Paid Sick Leave

As it stands right now i have some thing around 80+ days of paid vacation.

80 Days+ of paid vacation? wow..

If I was a full time employee instead of just on a 6 month internship, I would get 100hrs of paid time off. With paid holidays on top of that..

Since I'm only hear for the first half of the year, I was only able to use up about 4 days of PTO and we only had 1 holiday (Memmorial) versus the latter half of the year which gets almost 2 weeks of paid holidays.. (thanks giving and winter break)

only 5 days for now :|. Those days increase each year
and I don't have a clue of how many sick days

I get one week every year untill I hit 6 full weeks of paid vacation. But, if I'm still working there and making anywhere near what I am now in 6 years, I'm shooting myself................ after I use my 6 weeks of vacation.

I'd use it to make a lot of 3 day weekends.

Well I get 1 week when I hit a year in August and 1 week sick days.

24 days(4working weeks) a year here, I hated when our saleswoman went on vacation cause I had to work for her 4 weeks! :mrgreen: Thanx god its gone now :)

Hmmm ... I bet she will make it up for you when you give her the JW thong. :D

There is no size available she wear! :lol: :shock: :mrgreen:

One of those eh ... stay away ... "Warning this vehicle makes wide turns"
