Is vacation time negotiable?
in 9 to 5
Hi all!
I have been offered a position, but the vacation is terrible - nothing the first year, then 10 days. Is that negotiable at all? I'm used to three weeks and it being available immediately.
Thanks!
Re: Is vacation time negotiable?
Everything is negotiable. I got an extra week when I got my job because I had 3 weeks at my last job.
I've never worked at a place were it was available immediately though. I am surprised they don't work on an accrual basis. That seems very common.
Where I work now, we can roll over so much time, it doesn't matter. But at my old company, we couldn't roll it over and if we couldn't use our time before we accrued it, then EVERYONE would have to take the last couple days of the year off!
And back to the OP- I can't believe NO vacation time the first year at all. HOnestly, even if you could negotiate more time, companies that are THIS stingy w/ vacation time strike me as a company that aren't going to be very "work/life balance" friendly.

I've been at a company for the last three years where we only got 5 vacation days a year. It is one of the many reasons I started to look for a new job. There is no balance and everyone gets burned out. I would try to negotiate it because not having any vacation time at all is a dealbreaker to me.
I've worked at places where you can go negative but it is frowned upon. I've also worked at placed where you couldn't borrow at all and had to take unpaid leave if you didn't have any in your bank. I only mention this because "borrowing" or up front leave is not always the standard.
While earning vacation is a pain it has never been a big deal for me. We don't ever take more than 5 days off at a time and I can earn that with in 6 months.
is it a really small company?
It depends. I knew on my last interview that negotiating vacation time would not have done any good. Part of this was their mention of the economy and whatnot and another part was the fact that they offered me more money than they had wanted to, but told me I was worth it.
But, you can try.
It is definitely negotiable, but obviously not always granted!
Some companies are more willing to grant more vacation days than an increase in salary, especially if you're coming in near the top of their "pay grade" for your position. You can always ask, worst is they'll say "no". Just take it into consideration when you decide whether or not to accept the position.
Alternatively, will they let you take time off without pay or "buy" additional vacation days?
Good luck! I would struggle with less than 3 weeks vacation. Heck, I struggle with 3 weeks vacation!
My FIL runs his own business. He doesn't offer benefits or vacation time for the first year of employment. He's also not employee friendly and not a very nice person in general. He always wonders why his turn over rate is high.
I think vacation time is negotiable. Especially if you have plans set up ahead of time.
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.
Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

old 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
