Stupid sexy Flanders.
Just read in Tuesday's Australian Financial Review that Executive salaries were still high (and growing) in the IT sector, comparable to other industry sectors, but the rest of the IT workforce was not enjoying the same percentage increase and ridiculous high salaries.
I get 12 sick days, 22 vacation days, 2 floating holidays plus 11 regular holidays.
:)
I had 15 personal days plus 9 holidays at my last job (and yes, that -is- part of why i left it).
I'd say that most Americans need to put between 5 and 10 years into a position to get to 4 weeks vacation. That's a far cry from 20+ and never reaching it.
Most Americans don't change jobs nearly as often as us tech geeks, either
