Getting ready to ask for 9.5 days of PTO for October. I'm so scared bc I've never asked for this much time off. I also started at this firm in March. Ugh.

Hello everyone! How do you manage holiday pay when the holiday is on a Saturday/ Sunday.

Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well.
Can anyone help me please how many leaves we get per annum in Barclays ??

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?
