    Vacation Policy

    As you know from "Should I retire" post, the company I work for has an idiotic vacation policy. We rank our request 1,2,3,4 as to which request is most important. My numbers 4 and 3 were denied. One request (4) for February and one request (3) for April. July was accepted as was October. Fifty percent of requests denied, no reason, just denied.
    That means that I would have worked 53 weeks without time off since my last vacation. This is the consideration they have for an employee with 21.5 years of service and 3 sick days taken in all that time. Oh, and the retail pharmacy profession is stress free so no time is needed off to refresh one's thoughts and personal well being.

    I'm soooooo happy I'm leaving this company.

    In 16 days they get the notice!!!!!!!

    Sounds like a big company that has lost touch with reality. You made the right decision to leave.

    Our policy is much more flexible...but unfortunately I never feel that I can take off because there is nobody who will do my work in my absence.

    I currently am holding 7 weeks of vacation and will earn another 4.5 in the coming year.

    Oh yeah - I've also got 12 weeks of sick time built up since I have basically never taken a day.

    We get 6 sick days a year and can bank up to 30 days.I've had 30 days banked since my fifth year and have taken only 2 sick days in 21 years.
