- jrs235 10y ago15 days is 3 weeks.
- webo 10y ago15 days is 3 weeks.
- drjesusphd 10y ago15 days is 3 weeks of vacation...
- biznamespammer 10y agoFYI, 15 days is 3 weeks. You must not be a very good developer.
- dasil003 10y agoIsn't 15 days 3 weeks?
- ozgkrc 10y agoNot necessarily. In my current industry if you don't work for maximum weekly work hours, saturday will be count as a work day if you literally work or not. So a week vacation is counted 6 days. Ps. Non-US

- VLM 10y agoPeople are reacting rather violently to 15 days is three weeks, although it isn't. Its the standard two weeks plus 5 holidays, Memorial Day, 4th Jul, Labor, Thanksgiving, Christmas. That's 15 days. In my youth I worked for a place that advertised 15 days very proudly as meaning two weeks salaried vacation plus a personal day (usually Friday after thanksgiving). After all if you're salaries at a 24x7 operational company, if you want a Saturday off with guaranteed no phone calls, you need to take vacation.

- mhurron 10y ago> People are reacting rather violently to 15 days is three weeks, although it isn't That depends on how it's counted, it may be counted the way you are but it also might not be. For instance, the standard holidays that you list do not come out of my PTO pool, which is the number of days that I was told it was when I was hired. The result being I have those days plus those five, plus the day after Thanksgiving, as time off, I just don't get to pick when those last six days are used.
