Americans are infamous for not having much time off, but I think DH get an overly generous amount of time in the US.Living Almost Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594523259748625997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-18437002528517993992007-08-27T11:04:00.000-04:002007-08-27T11:04:00.000-04:00Officially, I get 3 weeks a year.

If you are on client site, you need to explain to the client and PM why you aren't on site, but they're okay with it, as long as it doesn't hinder the project end date)<BR/><BR/>Wow. I didn't know I got so many days off.. I just took them for granted :\ Thanks for the eye opening post...<BR/><BR/>I know as we get older and rise in the ranks, the maximum (I think) is 5-6 weeks vacation + benched time + floater days + holidays + personal time.FB @ FabulouslyBroke.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12966672580040786485noreply@blogger.com
