ramssuperbowl99 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just now, theJ said: Not only that, but companies know that a good employee is going to work extra before and after vacation to get their work done anyway. You can give me an extra week of vacation, and i'll take it. But it just means i'm working more 50-60 hour weeks to get ahead/catch up than if i had been in the office. Newton's 4th law: For every day of PTO, there is an equal and opposite crunch before and after the PTO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most companies give 10 set holidays, and then 80 hours of PTO as a starting point (so a total of 20 days). Usually bump up to 120 and then 160 hours PTO based on tenure. Of course I get holidays but I didn't think anyone counted holidays in addition to the the time off but I didn't think anyone included holidays in their total time off, I certainly don't and never will. For what it's worth, I'd go from 10 to 8 holidays. Not sure which of MLK, Presidents, Columbus, or Veterans day I'd be losing but I'm assuming it's some combination of those 2. Technically the 12 days I'd be getting is 10 + 2 floating holidays but floating holidays are PTO that have to be entered into the calendar differently but it's a huge step back from my current role that's 23 + 2. I guess the biggest difference is right now my PTO and sick time are supposed to come out of the same pool of days, which is pretty dumb for me because Minneapolis requires companies to provide seperate sick time anyway. Even still, in 6 years, I haven't taken a single sick day since I can work remote if I have a cold. Sick time can't be scheduled in advance so it's worthless. I guess my biggest complication right now is that I'm scheduled to take 3 weeks off in November and another week(and maybe an extra day in February) and changing jobs and asking for a month off in the first 6 months seems like an awkward situation that I'd rather avoid. But really America needs to get in line with the rest of the "western" world. Edited August 7, 2019 by skywindO2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be a cruncher, but i have responsibilities i can't shirk onto the next guy. So, i have to crunch if i want my job duties to be done.

Matts4313 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I am 34 and 97% retired. I put my resume on indeed and now think I am going to accept 2 additional jobs. This is going to put a dent in watching netflix and fondling myself all day, but probably worth it. Idle hands and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can set up a different phone number that rings to my cell phone but goes to a different voicemail? I should just google it, but I want to give one of you a chance to flex your nerd knowledge. Ill end up researching anyways. Its like having a completely secondary line in your phone. You can call/text from a different line, but it goes through your cell. You can also text from your computer and check voicemails etc at voice.google.com. you download the app on your phone and then you can dial out from it. I use it, and its great. The voicemails never fill up. I have it set up so that when someone calls the number, its shows up on my cell as a contact ive created called 'google phone'. it has its own ring etc and I know its a non-emergency call coming in.

I do. Tho it doesn't bother me because I turned off the call notifications so I don't even know when someone calls on it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically I get zero spam calls on that number, but I get a lot on my real cell's line. I do get a lot of calls on that google number, but that's by design It was ahead of its time when I got it 5 years ago. The transcribed voicemails are so clutch, but most phones do that now.

Nazgul Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I have mistakenly commented on a friend's political post on Facebook and the amount of tags / responses I have gotten are ridiculous, lol. No more comment on this. But yikers. It's my own fault though. I knew better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
