How many days off does your job give you for Holidays?

Next Wednesday is a half day for me (which is fine because I always misc until noon anyways)

- Thursday Off
- Friday Off
- Sat & Sunday off (of course)
So 4.5 days off

Christmas time is exact same schedule.

I get New Years day off, which is Friday so 3 day weekend there.



I don't think this needs to be said but I know there are a lot of tradies on this forum, yes they are paid days off.

We kind of shut down between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (you're basically expected to check emails twice a day and respond to whatever's urgent). For Turkey day it's a half day Wednesday, off Thurs and Fri, then I think Christmas and New Years is Christmas Eve - Jan 2. Same thing, you're expected to check emails and slack a few times but certainly not on the Holiday itself. We have unlimited PTO so no one has to "use" days, it's just a given.

21 paid holidays off - they added juneteenth lmao I’ll take it
6 weeks vacation a year that can be saved up for retirement
24 sick days
7 days pre tour prep
All time off increases with seniority o still has time to go up
Right now I’m sitting on 1500 hours for retirement which will pay my medical for life and pad my pension.

You've definitely been there a while. I used to work for the state but it was just too damn boring for me. Plus I hated the politics.

It tends to sway the opposite way - you don't want to be the guy who takes off more than others. I think we're averaging about 2 weeks (pre-Covid, this year has been a clusterfword), not including the holidays mentioned above.

12 holidays per year, "unlimited" sick time, and "unlimited" PTO. Outside of holidays, I think I've taken 2 personal days off this year.

I hate it. At previous jobs, I would save up my hours to take 3 weeks-1 month off, but DTO makes me feel guilty even if I take just one week off.

I work natural gas. I get Holidays off. 2 days for Thanksgiving, 2 days for Xmas, 2 days for new years, 2 days for 4th of July, labor day, memorial day plus 4 days of flexible holiday and 4-6 weeks of payed time off that I can use or roll over to following years.

I get a free 2 weeks off for pandemic leave if I claim I came into contact with covid.

I usually take 2 weeks off in the summer to go fish in Canada, and a week or 2 for elk hunting season. It's not a bad gig

Up until COVID was 5 weeks vacation which I usually ended up taking a bunch around XMas. But we're always closed day after Thanksgiving, Dec 24-26 and NYE/NY Day.

Yeah I'm not sure anyone takes more than a week off, realistically. I'm benched until the New Year soooooooooo Googling flights to somewhere warm.

Where I worked 10% of the people did 90% of the work. Most people fail their way to the top based purely on seniority thanks to the union. I ended up leaving to be a consultant for the agency I worked for and make three times what I made working for them, so it was a win for me.

We get 9-10 days off for holidays. No paid time off but we get a massive vacation check every February that makes up the difference.

I still take days off here and there for trips. The health/fringe benefits merk every single job I've had so far

Have you flown since March? I haven't done so but really want to go somewhere warm with a few friends as well. Maybe like an all inclusive resort type of place with not a ton of people.

I'll be on the bench for 3 weeks in Dec. so will probably take the 3 weeks off as well instead of pretending to work on internal firm initiatives Lol. Screw utilization.
