I get 3 weeks of vacation and 8 days sick time a year, all the sick time rolls over indefinitely and up to 6 weeks of vacation rolls over. Next year I'll have been here 10 years and vacation will go to 4 weeks. If I had unlimited I don't know how I'd decide that I must take time off, having my accruals get high is a good reminder! I'm bad about not taking time off because I know what a burden it is on the rest of my team and/or how much will just pile up waiting for me to get back, but with this new organization, whatever it turns out to be, maybe that won't be such a factor? We shall see.

Anyway, have done my chili judging and made my microwave stuffing for the Thanksgiving potluck and this is just going to be a day of Too Much Food

37 days! Every Friday off all year, almost, maybe, with holidays and whatnot.

It is harder with unlimited. I go by the days that we used to get as a guideline

I do unlimited for my company. Part of making it work is that it really needs to be modeled and pushed from the top all the way down. Every time we come off a busy period I encourage all of my staff to book the time off. Then we all make sure that when someone is out, we guard that time for them, so they can really relax, and so they aren't coming back to a massive pile of stuff.

I used to get four weeks (and then, briefly, unlimited), but with the current job, they are hard set about 2 weeks. I tried to negotiate based on my seniority, and nothing.

I just checked, and I'm sitting on more than 30 days of vacation and almost 67 days sick. Yikes.

What I said before was wrong, and I can now roll over 8 weeks, not 6.

Deepest condolences to you and your family, Kate. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry, Kate. It must be so sudden and shocking.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Kate. Much love to you and your family.

I’m so sorry, Kate. So sudden. I’m glad you were there.
