[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1082509, member: 43436"] Here, company seniority determines solely vacation weeks. If somebody was hired into driving off the street today, and I went in later this year, they'd get to select their two 2014 weeks before I'd get to select my five 2014 weeks. Kinda silly. And my pension is barely $700. I'm halfway to tripling that, and being able to withdraw in full at 47, if I stay PT. If I go FT, I start over. I always advise people NOT to get personal with their co-workers and bosses -- because they often use that information against you. OTOH, I resent it when a boss will tell me (as happened last summer) "...but Bagels, if you decide to drive this summer John Doe won't be able to, since he just hired in. You're single, earn a decent PT wage but John Doe has four kids." I'm the same age as John Doe. He choose to have four kids before ever having a steady FT job. That's his problem. But I gave it up, anyway, since I knew he was the preferred candidate and I'd be harassed. [/QUOTE]
