20 years at FedEx & I've never gotten the week after Christmas, Spring Break week, July 4th week or Thanksgiving week off from work. Not enough seniority!!!

20 years and still no. Damn bro. You got to be getting close to top dog

:lol: it's all good. I get 5 weeks, 4 personal & 7 holidays so I'm good!!!

Holidays aside...
I don't get why companies give so much time off.
And at the same time, why employees would want so much time off.
That's almost 6 weeks off you get a year. Do you get paid for that if you don't use it?
I'd MUCH rather get that extra 10%-ish worth pay, then the time off.
If you do get paid for it, then hey, good on you.

I agree, I accumulate time off for every 7 hours I work.

I work a 35 hour work week, plus any extra hours I put in I get paid extra for.
I get about 7 hours of PTO for every 2 weeks I work. It works out to 26 days of PTO a year. I lose it all at the end of every year.
Right now I have 80 hours to use, but no one to cover my work. So I am stuck, I was off today, but logged in for an hour to finish important work due today.

I would love to get a check for 2 weeks for the time I did not get to use.

I would kill for 5 weeks of vacation and 4 personal days.

Seriously, I would literally kill.

Of course he gets paid for it.

That is pretty standard to start a job in Europe.

They give it off b/c it improves moral and keeps the worker healthy and rested so that they perform better while at work.

I completely agree with it.
