Two weeks with my 1st.
When I was with anheuser Busch I got 6 or 8 weeks off with my second all paid and didn’t have to use pto.
Was nice

I took 2 weeks and used my vacation like a normal man.

 

[HCFord1]

Took 12 weeks for my first and 8 for my second. Sorry Jim.

 

[Jim14510]

All of you. Especially @HCFord1

Yeah. I've taken as much as my employer offered so I went basically 1 day, 1 day, and then 12 weeks

All of you. Especially @HCFord1

Should I have said “no thank you, I would prefer to use my PTO and save the company lots of money in the future when I leave for another job?”

Yes. Set an example and contribute to lowering inflation.

I feel like I might need a new accountant

All of you. Especially @HCFord1

Maybe you'd have got paternity leave if they thought your genetic material was worth incentivizing more of.

 

[kctitans]

Done til the 6th

As evidenced by the thread Jim has cratered the reputation of accountants so badly in Omaha that they're fleeing to places like Norfolk.

One of the things I learned after 30+ years working a corporate job is "If you died tonight your job opening would be posted before your obituary"
So don't be dumb and take advantage of every benefit they offer.

 

[huskermack]

I worked today.
Have the next two days off and then back at it. Then I get the 1st but that’s it.

I’m a lead data engineer, but I’m lower on seniority, so I didn’t try to take these two weeks off. Heck, I bet I don’t really work more than two hours a day till after the new year anyway. We slow waaay down this time of year.

 

[herbsinator]

I’m still working BTW.

 

[Huskers12392]

I’m off; but my kids are already driving me nuts.

Im not the only one with these thoughts right?
