      Yeah. I know nearly every where else has it so much better. If I felt like I had the ability to immigrate, I probably would.

        You might not get the public holidays at the same as others but you’re still entitled to them taken in lieu!

          Oh for sure. It was more the 2-3 weeks off at summer that I was envious of. Although I know lots of people still have to work as well, so I can’t complain too much.

              Tbh I get 5 weeks AL a year (although only after 5years) so I’m really complaining about not much. I can take leave over summer like everyone else, but only every third year or so as there has to be somebody working

                Well staffing is a different issue all together. She definitely had some times where there wasn’t enough staffing and they couldn’t have people go on PTO.

            Come work on IT projects in government. There’s a contractor stand-down period for like 3 weeks over Christmas so even if you work there’s almost no one around (yes the government said they would cut down on use of contractors, they said a lot of things).

              The work has to be done whether it’s officially on the books or not.
