Oh dear my young Ceasar , you fail to grasp the realities of life , if you are good at your job you can write your own ticket , if the BOSS doesn't like it there are twenty or more other BOSSES in town that would start me in the morning , if I want to extend it further there are abut two dozen on three different continents that are constantly pestering me to go and work for them plus countless others that I would only have to make a phone call to.
If I could be arsed then I would set myself up as the BOSS tomorrow , but I have already been there and done that , and now I am enjoying the easy stress free life of working when I want to and partying when I want to .

The only downside is trying to take a holiday without someone turning round and asking if I could do a little job for them while I am there , I have already had 9 ask me for when I go away on the 19th of this month

Yeah you are probably right I know nothing about bad bosses (because I barley ever work, and when I do its for my fathers roofing company so I can stop when ever I want, leave when I want etc)

30 days Paid leave
Up to 24 days Flexi leave - No more than 2 per month but you have to make up the time
11 days bank holidays

He/She should because he is the BOSS. And you are the empolyee

He/she is not the boss, that'll be the wife, they are the employer and as long as I do what it says in my contract then they have no claims on time or life.

I have huge amounts of vacation, getting paid. Im at university. Summer 2.5 months of, and then another 1.5 months of throughout the rest of the year, and im getting $900 a month, 12 months a year. hooray for me.

I've been with my company for 6 years, so I get 12 days. This is what I'll get until I've been here for 11, when it gets bumped to 15. I also get 10 paid holidays a year. I have unlimited/no sick time, depending on how you look at it. I don't have a fixed number of sick days, but 1) I can be asked to go to a doctor, even the first day of an illness and produce a note and 2) I am expected to make up the day(s) by staying late and/or coming in on weekends.

Speaking of vaction, Mrs. Corleone & I are taking what will most likely be our LAST vacation for some time (as she is 3 months pregnant) and we're meeting my parents and my sister & brother in law to do a cruise of Alaska/stay in a lodge in Denali for a week & a half. I leave the 19th. I cannot wait!!!

Flyfishing for salmon, kayaking with orcas, wrestling Kodiak bears... Okay, 2 out of 3 ain't bad...

Is the 900 paid directly to you or is that the value of some service(s) you receive (tuition or room and board etc.)?
