I've worked at places that didn't give any PTO until you'd been there at least a year as a FTE. Pretty common really. And yes, I get holidays off (and some of the days around them generally) and paid.
It might've been 36 at 20 years. Either way, 36 was the max. Going from 24-36 is still a nice increase, but it doesn't feel the same as say, 5-17 at other places. I think it rolls over to the next year as well.
Workers rights and stuff in the US are really, really bad, basically, compared to basically any other 1st world country. Like I said, my fiancee gets 5 days PTO total where she works and has been there 4 years. My last FTE gave 4 days PTO and it had to be submitted and approved like 4-5 months in advance.
I'm fine with working here even if I think my salary is like, 7% below the average for an entry level position in the field just due to that.
5 days a year is ridiculously low, i started my job less than a month ago and i get more than that a year

Welcome to the US. I get 5 days every 6 months....

She works in child care, which has totally different legal requirements. They actually are exempted from being required to be given breaks every so many hours. They get a lunch break, but no 15 minutes every 4 hours or so.

Have been playing onehanded offlane ogre magi on a new account. So far have managed to keep the account at / under like 2.5k mmr or so which is sweet, because it means I can actually still play with friends new to the game.
Also bringing that A+ anti-bullying ranger mentality to smurftown feels good.
Dota is a solid game.

After getting back into fishing and after working with fish for just under a year (1½ish month off)
Jesus christ most people who fish are fucking idiots when it comes to fish and truly go for the feels before reals Any examples of those "feels before reals" situations? Since iv started doing Jiu-Jitsu iv really started to notice how much a lifetime of hunched gaming posture and little exercise can mess up your body. There are a lot of not-so-strenuous activities that will make you very sore if you aren't regularly stretching and exercising
how often do you do jiu-jitsu, how likely are you to get injured, I would like to try it but i do not want to injure myself for climbing
also yea agree w/ this. And still thinking about inc, jesus. Weird to reflect how much time I've spent on TL and caring about ESPORTS over the years.
I got a new apartment, it's nice, I move soon, it has a north terrace and a south terrace, I'm excited, everyone come visit me we can have a party

Congrats on the new place!! Same neighborhood?
Iv been going five days a week and Iv gotten plenty of bruises but nothing bad enough to keep me from coming back the next day. Since it's all wrestling, minor strains on the back, neck, and weird muscles you never use in your groin seem to be fairly common.
I haven't seen any injuries that would keep people from doing other exercises, but iv heard that there are gyms that have high injury rates because they spar too hard or are run by psychos.
Id say that if you go to a good gym twice a week you probably won't get injured at all but it is a sport that's fundamentally about bending limbs the wrong way and choking people out so no promises

it's in clinton hill which is reasonably close but a little younger than where I lived before - there won't be like 20 strollers in my hallway at this place. It borders a bunch of neighborhoods where my friends live (my ex lives one neighborhood over lol). I'm a little nervous cause moving is scary but mostly excited

This sounds good, I probably wouldn't want to go more than once a week because I'm pretty focused on climbing but it seems like something I'd enjoy a lot idk

I bet the leg strength and cardio that you get from climbing would transfer well. Let me know how it goes if you decide to take an intro class
