OT-How much vacation time do you get

Not enough is the answer. I haven't been able to take a day off yet this calendar year..

do you receive any additional days in the foreseeable future? like at year 3 or anything?

i recall getting 3 weeks my first job out of college (public accounting) and thinking that was great. i also remember thinking my friends who only got 2 were getting the shaft.

i currently get 3ish.

my wife gets 2 weeks + 3 (yes only 3) sick/personal days. she's been there 6 years. she has to wait until she's put in 8 years to get 3 weeks vacation.

No that sounds about reasonable. In many jobs it takes about 5yrs to get over that 2 week hump. Your boss gets different compensation because well, he's you boss. Just be happy you have a job that offers paid vacations or even be happy you have a job for that matter.

Im getting shafted with this new point system. Negative 12! CMON!

None, but then again, I'm a student working in a lab for the summer, so it would be really weird if I DID get any.

When I started I got 9 days of vacation, 9 days of sick time, 3 days of personal time, and 3 days of bereavement. If I had started on the start of the fiscal year (July 1), I would have received 12 days of vacation.

Now that the new fiscal year has begun, I should be getting bumped up to 15 vacation days (plus I get until December 31 to use up my 4 days remaining from the previous fiscal year). Not sure how much more sick and personal time I get, though I think sick time is bumped up to 12 days.

I have been at my job for 10 months.

It takes time. I get as much or little as I want right now as an hourly paid intern without much responsibility, though I'd probably be told I was an idiot if I took any more than a week. I believe my dad gets 7.5 weeks after working for 30ish years at the same company.

I am a teacher so I get a lot of vacation time, but I can't really take time off during the school year and I do some preparation work for school in the summer.

Try asking people in the same career/field etc.

2 and a half months this summer and then 4 whole months next summer. Summer break for high schoolers is awesome.

I got laid off about two weeks ago from the ad agency I was working at, so I've had about two weeks of vacation. Just be thankful you have a job.

On that note, if anyone can offer any leads for something in AZ let me know.

You might make 10k less than market but you'll get a ton of time off. My job started at 24 days vacation a year and 12 days sick per year. Plus 19 holidays.

This is my first year working for a public accounting firm, and I get 3 weeks paid vacation plus 3 "personal" days. I also do not have a fixed number of sick days (as long as you use within reason). I guess the big 4 accounting firms are where its at.

100% virtual, commissioned rep, with zero backup. No formal vacation plan.

One of the many many pros about grad school is it doesn't matter how much time I take off. If research is getting done (or if it looks like research is getting done...) I can show up one or two days a week. Maybe less. I should try that out.

I work for a supplier in the automotive industry. It took 5 years before I got my 3 weeks. That's fairly standard around here (3-5 years before you get more than 2 weeks). All I know is that it WILL be a negotiation point when I look for my next job. No way am I backsliding on amount of vacation.

Been with the company for 5 years and at 10 years you get an extra week. Now my wife, she gets 4 to 5 weeks a year depending on how much she works. The more she works the more vacation she accumulates.

I get technically 2 weeks with an option to take 5 more days or sell those 5 days. Well now I have no option to sell those 5 days and must take them or lose them so really I get 15 days vacation. However, I am forced to take 4 days in July off and 3 days in December off as a part of company shut down. So I really only get 8 days of my choosing, so sounds to me like I'm getting more of the shaft than you are. It is a plus that I can use any overtime I work towards comp. time and use it for more vacation.

I'll give myself a -1 for a really confusing ass answer.

Worked here a little over 2 years. I get about 3 full weeks vacation and 48 hours sick time each year. That will build up to just over 4 full weeks vacation after I get 5 years in.

Been with my company 2 years and we get 2 weeks vacation and a week of personal time plus 2 celebration days. The thing that I like is that it carrys over. We can carry over unlimited amount of vacation time plus a week of personal time for the following year. I work in sales and depending on the amount of revenue you bring in you can also get an extra week of vacation time.

I just graduated in the spring and moved down to Little Rock for a new job this week. I will get two weeks vacation and its supposed to take me four years to get 3 weeks of vacation.

Moved to 2.5 weeks after three years.
Moved to 3 weeks after five years.

However, all that excludes (soon to be not so) bountiful UAW-based holidays.

i work for an automotive supplier.

i get 3 weeks, plus some vague number of sick days.

my suggestion: work for a german company. they give you an obscene amount of vacation days. but on the downside, you still feel like you're getting the shaft, because they get about twice as much vacation as you do.

Started at 1 week then 2 weeks after 3 years and now 3 weeks after 5 years. I am in Cali now so I am taking my vacation this year to go to the Western and Notre Dame games.

I don't have a limit on the amount of vacation time, personal days, sick days, etc. As long as the work gets done, I can take what I want/need.

With that said, before you say "Fuck you, CPS. I'd kick you in the chestnuts if I could, but I'll settle for this watermarked down arrow instead," understand that I haven't been able to take any vacation time or sick time in almost 5 years, the last time being time off for my wedding. No, wait...I took an extra day off for a 4 day weekend up to Mackinaw 3 years ago. I'm still running strong off that one.

MLIA, FML or Sad Panda? You decide.

I work for an automotive supplier... I normally get 3 weeks of vacation (I've been here 10 years), but with the economic slow down, I now get an additional 24 days off this year -- although the additional days are unpaid, of course.

I've got 30 days a year for the last thirteen years. I also get all expenses paid 6 month cruises on aircraft carriers.

If so, have you tried sleeping with her? Maybe that could increase your vacation time!

3 weeks vacation, 12/13 holidays (depending on the year), and no sick time. I've been with the company for a little over three years.

Looking back on it, it doesn't sound so hot. 4 of the vacation days are between Christmas and New Year's, so that's sort of like an extra week of vacation (don't remind me that that means I only get 8 other holidays a year.)

At least 30 paid days per year for me, possibly as much as 42 per year depending on which schedule we work. I'm in my second year with this company. Our senior guys get 105 paid days of vacation per year. One of the benefits of being a pilot for a good company, which there aren't many of in aviation nowadays.

I get 15 sick days that carry over every year, 2 personal days, 2.5 weeks of vacation in Dec-Jan, half a week for Thanksgiving, a week in April just for the heck of it, and then 3 months in the summer. All is paid vacation time. AHHHH the joy of being a teacher.
