Man when it comes to work vacation, I'm like a real life horder. I been at this spot for a year come the 5th and I have NEVER taken a day off. I got my check yesterday, and I'm sittin gon 159 hours of vacation now. I see my co-workers taking mad days off, but this ain't heavy lifting, so I dont wanna take any time. I talked to our HR person, and she said I can only go up to about 200 before it stops accruing, so once I hit that, I'll start taking days as necessary all the while maintaining near max levels of vacation.
actually, back in december, I had stomach flu sick as hell, and I knew I was gonna be sick, but I came in regardless. and we were having a meeting in my office around 830 and I went and threw up in my bathroom like 5 times, and they sent me home. I did that so they wouldn't try to take my sick days for showing the effort to come in. I ended up going home.
Plus I always have this fear in the back of my mind about getting fired abruptly (this happened once years ago), and I like knowing, I got at least a month of checks coming in before I even have to start touching unemployment or savings.
At my last job. I was there for like 7 years, I had banked my vacation time up to almost 400 hours. and HR was like " you gotta use those days or forfeit". come to find out, I only had to get them down to 200 hours. but I only had 3 months to do this. so between april and june, I took 6 weeks of vacation that year (2010), all the while I kept accruing more vacation.
when I finally left that job, I had over 300 hours, that they paid me for cash money. I thought I was for real like I hit the lottery. cuz that was free money to blow since I was starting the next job on monday without taking a break.
