MABB v6.6.6

Off till monday

You got em, those vacation hours?

no vacation for me in the last few months

Dont you get like, 6 months vacation time in austrailia

I jammed me some vacation last week

Next week I'm off. Then just my birthday later this year.

Had to use the rest of it last April for the move.

yeah but my life is very much not like a typical australian life

though i thoroughly enjoyed my paid holidays when working in australia

first mabb meet up was because of aust paid hols

i think i have like three weeks worth of vacation

i have a hard time justifying taking a day off unless i'm actually going out of town or something. i work from home and my job is pretty laid back, i can fuck off in the middle of the day if i want and it's all good

it's totally not laid back today though because i am trying to do a months worth of work in a single day

but it's still kind of chill

I do not get paid for time off nor sick time. I work enough hours between the two agencies it works out though.

Luckily the new system we’re switching to will gave sick time and vacation time. I am more concerned about others than myself. I am paid for doing what I do unpaid.

what kind of work do you do noyka

I am a caregiver. Usually i work in multiple houses with elderly dementia clients and disabled clients. With covid families didn't want extra people so I am only with my brother who is severely understaffed. All agencies are understaffed and it affects clients like my brother.

I’ve got like 8 weeks of paid time off saved up. They allocate more the more hours you work and it rolls over each year - so as long as you Don’t max it out each year you can really start to bank quite a lot. One of these days I’ll take like 2 months and go bum around Europe or something.

i have 3 weeks banked still

i got an email from HR hassling me because in violation of company policy, i have not yet taken a full week off this year. so i have to burn some time between now and december, i guess

My old company had a use it or lose it policy so they always hassled people (you also only got two weeks a year). Current employer doesn’t seem to care if you use it or not.

i get 4 weeks, that's in addition to bank holidays, sick and personal time. they only let you carry over 2 weeks, which i pretty much always do. i think i got close to my annual bonus in PTO cashout this year, thanks to the 2 extra weeks of sick time we got when everything blew up last spring

stormy and lumberg come to thailand and see me before december, it's easy now

flights are surprisingly reasonable cost-wise

cheaper than i paid for the london trip even

that's correct stormicus, that is correct

so stormy gotta come to thailand
