Taking sabbaticals is something many companies used to offer- very rare now

Mine still does. I'm eligible for 5 weeks. 6 if I time it right with holidays.

If you work for eBay for 5 years they give you a 6 week paid leave period.

My dad got something similar when he worked for intel. I don't remember how often it was. This was in the '90s

Intel's was 7 weeks after 7 years.

And then you take normal vacation on top of that to extend it to 10 weeks.

When I was there it was 8 weeks off after 7 years of service. You get about 3

It's an option - 8 weeks after 7 years, or 4 weeks after 4 years

Yes, this is the current practice. My group doesn't track vacation so no one

Great benefits in Utah are a thing of the past. Decent medical but no dental, no

Adobe gives 4 weeks after 5 years, 5 weeks after 10 and 6 weeks after 15 or 20 or 25, etc.

The problem is if they can do without you for several months it means they don't
