Have you got much time off over the Christmas holidays?

[Slayer]

Have you managed to get much time off work/school for Christmas?

If so what are your holiday plans?

[Spicechinodiva]

4 days with today's economy can anybody and businesses afford to be closed..

 

The only thing that's legal in the states is the closing of schools for two weeks, that's the vacation.  

 

But I learned my friend is scheduled to work Christmas it's because it's a buffet and the bosses are witnesses so they don't celebrate the holiday like everybody else.

I’m off from Dec 21 until Jan 10th

That’s still a nice little chunk of leave - the first week or two back is pretty quiet usually (in corporate world). Real work starts in Feb 

[SlayOut]

I have to work til the 23rd, then off the 24th through the 26th, and then work the 27th and 28th. And then I’m off until January 2nd or 3rd…

[Stefani]

I get no time off in my profession.

I haven't had proper vacations, especially in winter, since 2016 Well, proper vacations for me it's more than 1 week.

My old job they wouldn't let us take more than 3 or 4 days in a row, even if you had more PTO days available. So in 2017 when I went to Vegas to see Britney, I took Wednesday - Friday, plus Monday, to have the weekend in between and at least a couple of days to kind of recover.

Then in 2019 I took another "long" vacation from Tuesday to Friday, but I had to be back to work on Monday The worst one was my last vacation days in 2019 as well, when I got the new Pokémon game lol I also took 4 days, then that Friday they were calling me all day from office, and then THEY MADE ME GO TO THE OFFICE ON SATURDAY! That was the last straw.

By January I was already quitting, I got a new job by February, and by March, COVID pandemic!! So I've been working from home ever since, but my vacation days restarted, so I had to wait until 2021 to get the immeasurable amount of SIX days off  

Here they don't care if you take all of them together, but they're so few that I need to space them throughout the year, so I take a few around my birthday in June, then I leave at least one or two for another time in the year. This year I got 8 days, and I already used 5 in June.

It sounds ridiculous but the main reason why I haven't changed jobs it's because my vacation days would restart. Here in Mexico you have to work at least 1 full year in the same company to get your first 6 days, then they add 2 days every year until you reach 20 or something like that. I wish this was based on your working years instead and not by the time on each specific company. There's apparently a new law they want to approve where the days will be doubled, so you'll start with 12 days since year 1, then 14 and so on, but I'm not sure when it'll start being valid.

 

At least at my current job they'll give us the 23rd and 26th off, then the 30th and 2nd, and I'm taking the 22nd as PTO so I'll have that.

 

Is there any billionaire that wants to take care of me? I can't keep like this until my 60s

[MasterMindz]

Well both Christmas and NYE are on a weekend this year 

Planning to take off between Dec 28 and January 2. 

[Spicechinodiva]

And yeah Christmas weekend and New years is on the weekend  

 

He'll most gays are in the dilemma of their..

 

Be a good boy on Sunday, or get railed on Saturday at the nye ****. And take the Sunday and Monday to recover 

So it's a big dilemma for some, one friend Said he planned the pass the bottom party two months already, has to cancel Christmas,  not his fault the calendar led to this decision. 

But hotel's booked, he rather cancel Christmas cos he's been two month celebate  to celebrate like a raining fountain

This is actually insane to read! In the UK the majority of people have 25 days of annual leave a year plus a further 8 days for bank holidays throughout the year!

Hoping more laws come into place where you get more holidays!

Just move here to England pokemon

25 DAYS?! Our current limit is 20 days and that's only after 8 years within the same company

And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Literally, the issues of living in a third world country

Like @Slayer said, this is insane to read. My jaw was literally on the floor. 

I’m entitled to 30 days holiday plus 9 days for bank holidays so 39 days holiday in total per year. I also work flexi and I can take a maximum of 3 days per month on flexi providing I’ve made up the hours. 

I’m sorry, I’d give you some of my holiday entitlement if I could. 

[Spicechinodiva]

Federal holidays are only for federal employees,  Like Post office, Banks and schools and local government agencies..

 

But everything else, it's literally Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

 

I can tell you, it's something you get used to 

 

The fact people of youth are protesting is funny,  especially in Arizona or right to work states, which is like you're asking to get fired and they have every right to fire you in a right to work state.

Oh my god I’m seriously in shock!! Yeah 25 is standard as soon as you start a job anywhere. You can also usually buy up to 5/10 extra days a year too. Like Rennen said we also have 8 or 9 bank holidays a year in addition! 

That’s it I’m bringing you over here 

Also @rennen2.0 get me a job if you have 30 days  you can get a referral fee
