I get three weeks PTO at my new job, plus 8 holidays, plus a shutdown between Xmas and New Year's. I don't know if the latter is paid and I don't even care! I've only had one week PTO and four holidays for the last three years, and it all went to family stuff for the most part. After a year I get four weeks.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Yeah one of the reasons I don’t really want to look for a new job is that my current one I now get 27 days of PTO, plus I think 3 floating holidays? We don’t get much in the way of regular holidays (nothing between new years and Memorial Day) but still.

Nothing between New Year's and Memorial Day?! That's a long time! I'm aggravated to get no holidays between July 4th and Labor Day, I think that's my longest stretch.

It’s fully remote, Jen! They are a Baltimore based company and do have an office address downtown but I don’t know when/if I’ll have to go in. There are a lot of unanswered questions!!

Oh and they have federal holidays off and get another one the owner decides what to do with. This year it’s July 5. I’m starting July 1 so that makes a nice short first week for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats, lisah!!!

Fully remote with a nearby location you might go to sounds pretty good!
