I think PTO should be re-named: Pretty Tham Owesome.
My company recently announced that all employees starting in 2008 will be eligible for 13 days worth of vacation and employees with over 2 years of service will be eligible for 15 days of vacation (me). Adding in personal days and sick days, that means I will have over 20 days of 'PTO' in 2008; good thing too, I may need it for a honeymoon :). Just for reference, 22 buisness days is equivalent to 1 month of work, which translates to 1 month of pay to go on vacation.
And actually today I submitted my PTO for my Maldivian getaway in August. Everything should be set; we will be on vacation from 8/17 - 9/4; essentially 2 1/2 weeks or 11 total business days. Since the 7 nights I am spending in the Maldives do not count against my PTO; I still have over a week and a half worth of vacation time this year.
And the best part; I am being PAID while I sit on the beach and I am getting PAID while I go diving in crystal clear waters with pristine reefs.
I know my favorite pharmacist will be making some big money after she passes the board but since most pharmacists are paid hourly; it means work = money. I'm glad for me it's; get a tan = money. And I don't think my favorite pharmacist will have as many vacation days as I will next year; does that mean I will have to travel alone (hehe)?
