Your employer cheating you of minimum employment leave ? Is your time off, having you feel younger ? Bringing more spring into the marriage ?

According to Wikipedia (the free encyclopedia) … If you live in the United States …

“There is no statutory minimum. It is left to the employers to offer paid vacation days as part of the compensation and benefits package. According to one survey, 98% of employers offer at least some paid leave to their employees; full-time employees earn between 6 and 20 vacation days at 86% of employers surveyed.  About 96% of surveyed employers give their employees paid time off during public holidays, typically 6 per year.  Some employers offer no vacations at all. The average number of paid vacation days offered by private employers is 10 days after 1 year of service, 14 days after 5 years, 17 days after 10 years, and 19 days after 20 years.”

So in essence, if your US employer is giving you a paid vacation time or even time off without pay, this is an added value amenity with your job, if you are employed in the US. 

Are you treating this added value time off with care ?  Getting the most out of your time ? Using this time in rejuvenate yourself, so you can make it through till the next time you’ve acquired more time off ?

Do you actually feel you work 7 days a week instead of the average 5 ?  With a home, family, and many things on your to-do-list, you probably do !

Does your motor keep going each day, till you basically flop in the bed ?

 

The Free Dictionary by Farlex claims the definition for “rejuvenation” is … To restore to youthful vigor or appearance; make young again.

Is this how you feel after your time off ?  If not, why ?

Are you staying home and doing more “stuff” on your to-do-list instead of getting away ?
Are you not choosing to budget money for your rejuvenation ?

If you say you have so much to do, this is probably a true statement !  This will never change until we choose to change ourselves.  The way we think !  The way we organize !  The way we prioritize !

According to Dr. Michelle Gannon … “It's not a second honeymoon or an anniversary trip. A marriage vacation is a childless excursion you should take for the health of your marriage. Reconnecting with your spouse is an important exercise you and your spouse should follow.  If you have children, marriage vacations give them an important message that your marriage matters and is treated with importance and respect in terms of time, money, commitment and focus. Have you ever gone on a "Marriage Vacation" to re-energize your intimacy, friendship and connection? We highly recommend them, and if you have children we suggest that you really try to carve out a "No Kids Marriage Vacation."...

 

Isn’t it time for change ?
