C0D4682466y@0and1 pros and cons of not having any leave through the year.
I get 4 weeks of paid leave a year so might as well use most of em at once. -
C0D4682466y@0and1 yea, I don’t mind the extra time with family. Plus not having to deal with “ahh somethings gone wrong, fix it” moments.
They just burn for a few weeks until I get back, unless something seriously goes wrong *touch wood* -
bols597756yIt simply isn't civilized to work on Boxing Day. Try telling that to your boss when you're American, and you work in the United States. I always tried to take the 26th off when I suffered the tortures of the damned, or as most others call it, working in Corporate America.

iAmNaN71436yBack at work today. 24th and 25th were just nice-to-have days off with pay. Taking vacation on the 31st so that I have another four day weekend. Nobody here today but me and all the contractors who don't want to forfeit a few days pay.
