Which, IMO, makes perfect sense. "Oh, you've completed your project ahead of time and exceeded quality? You should probably sit around for another four hours twiddling your thumbs because we don't have anything else to give you right now."

Sounds like that position needs more duties then.....
Eh, slow times happen. But you can't just get rid of someone because you don't necessarily always know when things are going to kick back up.
Since I work in the oil industry, I nearly had nothing to do for two months or so recently. I was sort of on standby for a design project I'm working on so my boss didn't want me to get wrapped up in something else only to have to be pulled off of that thing because the first thing suddenly became an order or whatever. So I'd go to him every week and tell him I'm needing something to do - well he couldn't get me anything because then I wouldn't be ready to go if an order came through. Alright, well I guess I'll sit around and maybe dabble in some training stuff but otherwise, it was just a complete waste of two months. Nothing I could do about it. My morale was pretty much destroyed since I was so bored but luckily some work kicked up again and I was back in it. Shit just happens in certain work environments.
No, you get your work done before you go on vacation not during. So if you are on top of things you technically don't have a vacation limit. I still keep it at around 4 weeks though since that was standard before the new vacation policy.
Correct :beer:
This is a new trend with start ups. This does two things; The company does not accrue PTO so when you leave they don't owe you a check for unused PTO and chances are you'll take less time off.
Yep, just happened to a finance director yesterday that I was interviewing.
I told him how I'd pay him, he counter offered, I told him I appreciate the offer but it wouldn't work. He again counter offered, I told him thanks for his time.
Poor guy called this morning and said he would do the original offer, but I already filled the position.
Its all about how the interviewee approaches it too right? I.E., I always ask if there is any room for negotiation, sometimes they give me a flat "No, this is what we have". Other times I get something like "Well what are you thinking?", and I take it from there. Bad idea to get pushy with someone looking to hire you.
Yep. He was very pushy. I liked him other than that.
If I thought he was pushy, I couldn't imagine how customers would feel.
What it comes down to, paying your employee for their completed work.
50k for 50 weeks and 2 weeks off. 961.50 a week.
48k for 48 weeks and 4 weeks off. 923 a week.
40k for 40 weeks and 12 weeks off. 769 a week.
So which is better? Obviously time off does not mean a damn thing. What matters is pay for the time you do work.
But I'm sure those with 5 6 weeks vacation will claim more pay than their peers as well:beer:

Ten days to start is a great deal, most of the auto industry is capped at 10 days now. That's all you get, ever. Commonly a week after a year and the 2nd week after five years or so.
I feel sorry for those coming into the workplace and being limited like this.
