I decide.
On average? 4-8 weeks.
If you had read my comment, you’d see we are forced to take a eeek in July, two weeks for the end of the year and 20 holidays.
I take very little time off. I feel like I’m already off most the time.
Oh please, then you could just "decide" to take every other month off and nobody would care, you would get paid the same,etc , you can't tell me that's the case..
Right, so 3 weeks vacation and you can't even decide when to take them. Sounds like a pretty shitty deal to me..
It seems that way, yes, so what good does "unlimited vacation" do?
Are you a hiring agent or something? What's next, are you going to tell me that your company is like "a family"?
Maybe someone like you would do that but I enjoy working. If I don't have my deliverables in then I would get terminated for performance. I take plenty of time off.
It allows me to take off as much as I want. With three weeks mandatory and twenty days for holidays, I take another 4 weeks off. How much more time does someone need?
Right, so you don't decide shit, your company decides.
Clearly it doesn't, that's the point..
In my opinion? At least 5-6 weeks a year, but guaranteed and enforced by law. More is a matter of negotiation. No paying it out (unless you resign), no saving it up for next year (apart from a few days), not counting holydays, illness and paternity.
I don't get why you keep writing as if you want to hire me.. You don't need to justfy your working conditions to me, if you are happy, good for you.. I'm simply telling you that if it was me, I wouldn't trust shit like "unlimited vacation days"..
No I decide. I plan around my work.
5-6 weeks? If you add what I take off I’m well over that. I’m around 20 holidays. 4 quarter days. Birthday. 3 weeks mandatory. I’m minimum 12 weeks a year.
Have no interest in hiring you. You don’t have the skills or work ethic to work where I work. Look how you’re arguing about something you have no knowledge about. That isn’t the type of person we’d hire.
Keep telling yourselve that, my friend.
It was 4-8 weeks when I asked you, now it's 12 weeks minimum. Good for you.
Obviously I have no interest in a company as you work at, that's my entire point..
I'm telling you that this concept of "unlimited vacation days" sounds like, in my personal view, a shitty deal.. As I told you, if you are happy with the deal, that's great, no need to get so fucking defensive..
Also pretty funny that you tell me about my work ethic despite not knowing me at all while complaining that I'm "arguing about something I have no knowledge about" 😂
