This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

However, some (all?) states give the employer the right to force you to use them if you build up too many days.

Source: had to deal with a guy on a team I inherited that had built up a bank of 63 weeks (annual plus long service). He did not want to be forced to take them. He politely reminded him that by law they can, so we worked out a payment plan where he took 3 months off a year to catch up. He will celebrate 40 years at the company in a few months.

63 weeks!!! That's wild!

Not to be a Debbie Downer about it, but I'd honestly be bricking it that the company goes bust in the interim, and that accruement would be for fuck all.

I know!

The previous manager was best mates with him and let it slide hard.

Here, the money for things like that needs to be put aside to cover it so that if the company does go bust they aren't in the lurch.

In the end it worked out ok for all.
