Career Goals - Hunt Every Day in September

[5MilesBack]

Four years ago I was 12 minutes late taking a COVID test at work (I'm one of those dirty unvaccinated types). They suspended me for the following week. It was third week July and I knew the Wyoming cutties were eating hoppers...didn't have to tell me twice the take the week off!

I took a job several years ago. When I got there one of my guys had just been suspended for two weeks for accessing porn on a government computer. I started in early summer and had zero vacation built up. I said to my boss "So.......this 2-week mandatory suspension thing.......do we get to pick when that actually happens, or do I just wait until September to look at porn"?

I work for a fairly large trucking company as a company driver not owner operator. I get "three weeks" 50hr/45hr/45hr of PTO. Though they will gladly give you a week off without pay as freight is slow right now.

I work as a financial advisor and run my own business. However I feel like everyone thinks oh you run your own business you can take as much off as you want. It is not quit that easy. I do however have an assistant to take care of client needs while I’m away. I also have three business partners that help if need be while I’m away. I’ve never left for more than two weeks as too much build up and never want a unsatisfied client. It is great having flexibility and doing what I want, but it’s still no free for all. I will say it is very nice not having to deal with what I’ve seen in some of these comments. Running a buisness however isn’t all what it’s hyped up to be let me tell you. I’m more than happy with my spring and fall trips out west.

I’m in a similar situation. Work a corp job, full time remote, compensated well, unlimited PTO but that doesn’t actually mean unlimited PTO. So can usually take long weekends with the occasional full week off

Just went the starlink route. Have a bunch of hunts lined up this fall and this will let me stay connected while taking advantage of working remote.

Wish there was an other option, but I missed the boat on marrying a sugar momma and have 2 crotch gremlins at home that need a roof over there head.
