4 week vacation time is done tomorrow, then it’s back to work. A bit excited to see what happens there for the rest of the year, a bit stressfull too, but It’ll be nice to get back to work. This summer vacation has been super nice, and also felt like it lasted long. Been a super time with my family, we got to visit a lot of cool places, and went on a lot of trips etc. Been really nice. And we’ve already planned what to do next year - so I already look forward to that :)
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Very nice! 👌 I’ve enjoyed your photos and stories of your trips!
Do you normally take 4-week long vacations all in one go?
@prologic@twtxt.net During summer - yes, since our kids have 2 months. First month of their vacation I still work, then I join them on their last month. We do have 5 weeks, so I save the last week for around Christmas. :)
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Ahh nice! i only get 4 weeks off a year 🙄
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @prologic@twtxt.net Wow, that’s surprising. Assuming a full time job, you are legally entitled to at least 20 days annual leave in Germany. Some companies even offer 30, esp. when in a union. I don’t know how many companies actually do, but in my circle of friends and acquaintances, nearly everyone has 30 days paid vacation. I somehow thought it’s very similar in Scandinavia and Australia.
Oh boy, the week is already over and I haven’t accomplished much useful stuff when I look back on it. Gotta check the vacation calendars of my workmates tomorrow and take one or the other week off soon.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah in Australia it’s only 20 paid days of annual leave (paid)
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, paid. If not even big IT companies offer more, I will not emmigrate to Down Under. ;-)
