Huzzah for Me!

When I lived in Hong Kong it was standard that you didn't get any holiday entitlement in your first year. In your second year you'd get a week, and after that two weeks. Crazy.
As far as I'm concerned, my staff can ask for holiday whenever they want if that's what it says in their contract. Feeling obliged to wait 3 months before asking is ridiculous.

I'm not too fussed about hiding my identity because I don't believe I ever write anything that is mean or that I wouldn't want my employer (or prospective employer) to know. I don't get involved in forum spats or name calling or anything. What have you got to hide @PSX_Defector?
-
I write with the assumption that I want potential employers to see what I am writing.

Good stuff.
Remember @ajstringham they don't care how good you are at Level 1.
I know this isn't your first picnic but I have observed a tendency to get a little heated seemingly unnecessarily. I know I don't know the full back story but neither will a prospective client or employer should they come across the posts.
Not being nasty or rude, just an observation.
This is why I use an alias instead of my real name. Just in case I come across that one person that pushed the big red button and I can no longer cage the rage.
That being said, it doesn't work for everyone, Scott is a prime example for reasons already mentioned.TL;DR
Be careful with what you post as it's easy to drag your own name through the mud.Best of luck though

I'm allowed my opinions.
Yes you are. But they are allowed to not retain you too. "Allowed" is a fuzzy term here. You are allowed to speak about them publicly, they are allowed to let you go. It's a two way street. Very few companies, at least large ones, allow employees to speak ill of them publicly and even fewer allow employees to state that they are employees.

True that.
