Guess 5+ years aren’t valued since we aren’t being treated equitably.

Vacation for horizons will pop to four weeks next year. To me that’s much more reasonable.
If you don’t like it go work somewhere else. It’s called earning your time. It will never be enough with you people.
ABU has started getting 4.20 days additional bonus leave due to high reliability and cash flow.
Work to live NOT Live to Work
What additional vacation? It was two weeks when I started a decade ago in the US. What is it now? I’m a dude and got no time off to help my wife out after my two kids were born. Is there any chance our masters will give me extra time now? He-l to the no.
Pay your dues, OP. Everyone else did and survived quite nicely. You should be worrying more about what your career is going to look like 10 years from now.
I always felt the vacation the first 5 years was meager, but I still struggled to take it. I was working my behind off those years. I came in after dinner in the evenings and most Saturdays. I worked like a maniac at least my first ten years. Many others did as well. We had no time for vacations and ended up taking it around late December because the office was quiet then anyhow.
Vacation is a perk once it is EARNED. If you're so laser focused on more vacation with less than 5 years service you should probably go to work as a US federal employee. For example: one g-y presidential cabinet member got three months maternity leave with his "partner" after adopting.
Chevron employees are responsible to contributing to the bottom line profit. PERIOD. Government employees are not accountable to anything. If they bust their budgets, they just whine and print more money.
I encourage you to change employers as you obviously aren't contributing and making good employees pick up your crumbs.
Well being I now get six weeks, I am sympathetic. When my kids were young and my parents were still alive I really needed a bit more, and now all this time off is more a luxury than a necessity.
Wah, wah, wah….
In Australia the norm is to get 4 weeks leave or its equivalent if you (cycle 2 on 2 off) to a remote location after a year of employment. Any leave you don't use accrues to the following year or can be paid out for cash.
Some countries like Italy are better than that.
Been in the workforce for 5 years have ya? You don’t know d1-k about anything! The fact you’re complaining about not having enough vacation proves it. Get back in your ho-e.
Whiny Gen-x wants everything handed to them… work for 5 years, earn your vacation, then you can be valued!
