I get 4 weeks off a year and I can carry it over. Using that a week at a time would not be helpful because of project work. They would rather I use two days at a time.
Plus I am never really off work. Email and Remote Desktop are a fact of life until retirement, which is fine with me.
SO five months until the end of the fiscal year and they’ve filled all the quotas?
Believe me I get it. I have not had a vacation like most people have in 25 years. I do not just respond to a few emails in the evening and claim I worked on vacation. I actually have to break out the laptop and connect via VPN almost every day of my life, vacation, weekends, holidays, sick days, all the same. Pain in the rear but this is one reason I am employed and have been without a single day of unemployment in 30 years now. Slave labor is always welcome in the work force.
I do it voluntarily. I went on summer vacations but the kids’ summer schedules eliminate that now. So now I run off with my frat bros for long weekends. I may disappear for long periods when my youngest goes to college in the fall.
Because I can remote in, it makes the trips easier. You don’t come home to a mess.
Our desire to make life easier for our children based on our hard work is backfiring.
Thank you.
I hear these fools come on here about how bad the kids are today. Then you click on where they are from and realize they are in California, Florida, New York, or some other liberal hellhole. Well of course there’s a higher percentage of lazy there.
Go to the Midwest and South and it’s a different story. Lots of kids working hard and looking for jobs. It’s not as cut and dried as what people make it around here to be.
Agree.
My daughter works her ass off and goes to college and so do her friends.
I loved your rant - and can’t argue with any of it. I see it with my daughter’s friends and the grandkids of many of my friends. And living in a rural area, as we do - the transportation is a major issue.
