First day on the job

Woah, take a deep breath. You might be taking yourself a little too seriously.

 

One such study can be found at projecttimeoff.com. If you read the article already posted it said evidence was staggering. I think the general consensus is that vacations are the difference between happy, productive and stressed, burned out workers. Starting a new job can be stressful so in this case a vacation may be helpful . I am not an authority on this so feel free to offer your opinions. Thanks.

 

Wow, Dude. Switch to decaf.

 

ok, that is better, to provide a link, to support what you said, rather than to not provide, and back up your statement.

it is interesting in that study such a high amount do not take vacation time. back in the day when my dad was alive, he and his co-workers could accumulate vacation time, and use it towards retirement at an early age, if only by (say) 3-5 months. that was put to a stop, at his employer. they were told, ":use it up, or LOSE IT"

needless to say, dad and his co-workers took the time off, from that point on.

now, what are the reasons for today's workers to not take a vacation?

could it be a lower pay than a regular work week pay?

could it be they have nothing to do, if they take a vacation?

could it be they are able to accumulate vacation, and retire earlier?

i find it irksome how so many companies only offer the traditional 1 week off, after working ONE FULL year, and then have a cap of vacation time, but one must reach (like a job i had) 7 years to get a whopping 3 weeks off.

why more than say 3 years, (one week off for each year with a cap of say 5 weeks), must a worker put in to get more than one week's vacation?

is it, or is it not, "assumed" that if an employee stays (on average) of 3 years, he/she is staying till either retirement or many years at the very least, showing the employer longevity to the job???

i now have saved that link, for my future reference and reading updates.

thanks again, for providing a link, kinda made what you said earlier, more valid, than just a random statement.

have a great day.......!!!!!!

 

nah...not enough coffee in less caffeine...

 

If I were you, I'd ask him to pick some difficult stores when you're driving (if he's not picking them already). As the new guy, you're going to be getting stuck with a lot of those when you're on your own. Best to experience those while with a trainer .. Most stores are easy, but some are a bit tricky. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the job. Great job and lots of good people there, welcome aboard!

 

What company and where? PM me if yu don't want to post it publicly.
