My wife is at one of these places that went from 4 weeks to 'discretionary', and her manager needs to approve all of it.
This was three years ago. She finds it very easy to get the first two weeks scheduled, and generally doesn't get a full third week approved.
It sucks.
Maybe we're entitled. (I know we are entitled, it's ok) But I think our time off is one of the biggest reasons to work at these places.
I have 4 weeks off, and so I have to find something to do on my own for a week and a half and although that sounds like a huge positive experience, I'd rather hang out with my wife than be solo.
- harvey9 4y agoShe used to be 'entitled' and now she's not! This reads like she used to get 4 weeks and now only gets about 2.5. if so, did they give her extra money for that extra time she's now at work?

- sdoering 4y agoWow. Four weeks off is the legal base minimum in Germany. Most companies provide at least 5 weeks of PTO. If competition for talent or unions are strong it is normal to have 6 weeks of PTO. On top come public holidays so that you regularly are able to stretch 6 weeks PTO to about 7 to 8 weeks of holiday per year (if for example xmas falls not so shitty as last year's). I am always amazed how different it is in other countries.
