This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Are y'all getting 5 weeks of vacation a year? My American mind cannot comprehend this.

I've been at my company for almost a decade and I think I'm a bit over 4 weeks of vacation, a good chunk of that is due to seniority.

Yes, legally required for all employees. 6 weeks for employees who have been working at the current company for a very long time.

That's marvelous.

Is "very" long on the scale of like a decade or multiple decades?

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

at least 13, at most 25 years depending on various factors (how long you have been employed in total, how long you studied in school/university, and other factors)

That certainly is a good chunk of time, but 5 weeks minimum is stellar!

Cheers!
