The latest edition (posted on Wednesday but I only saw it today) is this:
The bit that I want to talk about in particular is frame 2, and in particular in particular, the comment "I only get 5 weeks paid vacation".
I have applied often enough for entry-level admin, office, etc jobs to know that the terms and conditions offered for those entry-level jobs often include between 20 and 25 days paid leave per year (in addition to Bank Holidays) - at a 5 day working week that's 4 or 5 weeks holiday as the standard for entry-level office work.
So my question is: all you Yanks out there - what happened? Why don't you have the same rights as the rest of us? Hell - Britain is actually behind the curve on this compared to Europe, they get even more vacation time that we Brits do!
A comparable employee to that boss dude in the cartoon over here could have as much as 30-35 days leave (6-7 weeks) a year. You guys are getting stiffed, I tells ya!
I guess it's what you're used to. I don't see it as being stiffed. Personally I think I would feel weird about getting a ton of vacation time. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
