Taking half day off tomorrow. Got 7.5 extra days off for overtime. Total days earned thus tops 27.5 days to go with my 28 days of annnual leave and 12 days National holidays. Not a bad life.

Seeing shit like this annoys me. I get ten days off, four paid holidays, and bust my ass every damn day. I'll get twenty days max after ten years.

The only places that get every holiday off are government and bank jobs. Most other places get 4-5 average. Maternity/paternity leave is purely up to the employer(including the length of time if they do have it). Average sick leave is 2-3 days a year. Average PTO is 1 week to start, 2 weeks after a year, 3 after 5 years, 4 after 10.

I was with my previous employer for ten years when they decided to sell the place. I transitioned from them to the new company doing the same job(literally the same building, same product, same everything). They treat me as a new employee, though, so all my accumulated leave is gone.

Saw the new Halloween movie earlier. Wasn't blown away, and some parts bothered me, but overall a decent movie.

Everyone in the UK gets these things enshrined in law. Not just me and my civil service gig.

Some of us are actually expected to work more days than days off, esquire.

I get 3 sick days and divide it into 6 because we get 24 hours paid sick time so I take 6 random days off a year and get paid half days. It's my vacation.

I will tell you something shitty. People who are salary not hourly where I work get unlimited time off they just have some bullshit percentage of time they are supposed to be at work it equals like 6 1/2 weeks they can miss. It's more of a guideline and not a rule and 90% of people abuse that shit. Makes me want to puke :x

I would recommend being angry at the system, not your fellow workers. Were you in their place, you'd possibly do the same. The system is the problem, not the people.
