In American companies you typically get one week off after your first year, and then two weeks off after your second.
Wow...benefits! Something else I've never had, and I've worked in offices. If I get into JET, that would be my first job with some type of benefits...like health insurance. I so miss having that, but I've never had a job that's offered me it.

Anyway, my father has been at the same company for almost 20 years, and he only gets 3 weeks vacation. Sad, isn't it?
