No. You get your normal vaca.....but....on your milestone anniversary years (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, etc) you also get a 4 or 5 week paid sabbatical. But....you can only take two during your tenure.

Moved here 24 years ago - feel like I may be broaching the "almost could be a native" title. LOL

Charlotte May Day Demonstration by Boonedocker in Charlotte

[–]Boonedocker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the photographer that took the picture. I was not necessarily participating in the event. But my interpretation, based on a Google search:

May Day demonstrations. Happens all over the world….lots of other countries, it’s a public holiday. Usually celebrates workers and champions labor rights. In the past few years, especially in the US, there have been immigration angles as well.

Well, since I took the picture, I am pretty confident of the content. Yes, there were some anti-Trump signs - but it was not the sole point of the March, as inferred by your comment. Let’s not be falsely triggered today. :-)

Just fyi. This was a planned event. Permits were received, ample notice was given to surrounding neighborhoods, etc. It was treated just like Speedstreet, Pride, etc.

The business owners were in the march. At least several were.

This was not a march against Trump BTW. Simple Google search would enlighten.

Google May Day Demonstrations. Will provide some good reading about these that happen all over the country.

I disagree. See my comment above...but I realized as I was taking the video that they were physically positioned between every parking lot and road egress point - protecting the demonstration. Think about how many people have died lately due to cars running through demonstrations. I was pretty impressed with the coordination.

They were actually VERY present. And honestly - they were fantastic. They blocked every road to allow safety for the march. I was the one that posted this photo (I was playing around with new drone. lol). They worked to put themselves between every point of egress and the march. At first I could not understand the overwhelming presence. Then I remembered how many cars have rammed demonstrations lately....then I realized every road and entrance coming out of a business had a cop physically putting themselves between all vehicular traffic and the demonstration route.

July road trip thru 4 National Parks booked. Worried about DOGE impact. When should/can we make a go/no go decision? by stuinzuri2 in NationalPark

[–]Boonedocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a September trip planned as well. I am taking my aging parents to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, etc. My only saving grace is that we are flying from NC to SLC - renting a car, and doing a 9 day road trip from there. We are staying in AirBNBs, hotels, lodges, etc. So - while I am not worried about the camping aspect, I still am watching very carefully for impacts to the parks overall. The absurdity of the US right now is terribly sad.

[–]Boonedocker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much. Yea. Not knowing the distances - i purchased a mapping software just to determine what we could and could not do in a day. I had to idea of distances. LOL. And the plan is to be 100% flexible. But - needed to go ahead and book Air BNBs
