This is an actual conversation between me and a manager today...

me: "Do we have a schedule for [customer] yet?"
mgr: "Not yet, we will find out tomorrow during the meeting."
me: "I'm supposed to have that day off."
mgr: "I know, but you'll still be here, right?"

 

Man, what a hard life you lead. I don't think I could handle having a load of vacation days. It must be torture man.

 

.....bastard

 

haha he edited that part out. yea, i have absolutely 0 vacation days in a year. i do take 3-4 days off though.

 

Work the hours I work (110/week avg when travelling, 70-90 at home), then get taxed (42%) and monitored (all Internet traffic, travel) like me. Yeah, it's torture. What good are vacation days if you are never permitted to take them? What a tease.

 

New hires start with 25 days of vacation and 12 holidays. I've been here awhile and get a bit more, something like 7 weeks or so. Have 24 days remaining this year and have to take a minimum of 19 to carry over maximum of 5 days. Oh yeah, there are 4 holidays remaining this year, too. WTF?

 

lol that sucks

 

Shit at Jiffy Lube you get40 hours of vacation time after your first year What Kind of shit is that?

 

The same kind I got at RRS. although unfortunately, I am generally not permited to take mine either as I am in kinda in the same boat as rich.

 

40 hrs = one week right? (in theory)
I think if I work at UPS for 10 years I get a week. hehe
