how to ask for more vacation time
It will come as a surprise to exactly no one that Americans don’t get enough vacation time from their employers. The average American worker in private industry gets only 11 paid vacation days after a year of employment (plus, generally, federal holidays and paid sick leave). That’s awfully stingy compared to how much leave workers in other industrialized counties get.
But a lot of people don’t realize that they can often negotiate more time off, either right up-front when they’re first being hired, or down the road after they’ve been in the job for a while.
At New York Magazine today, I’ve got a guide to how to do it.
