I wish unpaid summer vacations were possible.

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

4/14/21 12:58pm

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.

If you don't get let go first. Ebay is famous for that.

I think my aunt gets a multi-week sabbatical every 6 years at Intel

4/14/21 1:00pm

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

the closest that everyone has is FMLA

FLMA. So painful. I had FLMA once. There’s a cream for it though.

My youngest is 12... paternity wasn’t a thing at my company at the time. 3 days

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.

time it with the summer shutdown and you get half the summer off at least

mottman

4/14/21 1:14pm

The more responsibility and specialized skill/experience you have

I would prefer a paid summer vacation but that's me

I was thinking the other day I need one of those.

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

My company is Dutch-owned and all our European colleagues take about 2 months

4/14/21 1:40pm

Do the Dutch employees get Free medical, car, expense account, other perks?

SwanSong

At my company, yes

tmurphey44

4/15/21 7:47am

Free medical, yes. Car is included for the top level executives, but not anyone

4/15/21 11:23am

Become a teacher

Go somewhere without cell service

4/14/21 1:49pm

Costco offers that after the holidays my wife

4/14/21 2:02pm

Save. Invest. Retire early. It's what I did.

4/14/21 7:54pm

How early did you retire? Always interested in hearing others experiences
