Much better to be in a position with no limit on vacation days. I would've thought the OP was at that level, but now we know why he needs an administrative assistant. Those vacation days must be tracked.

If you say so smart guy.
Keep patting yourself on the back and telling yourself what you need to hear.
How many hours does your boss's, boss's boss work. You don't even know because you can't get near him. And he doesn't even know who you are. You're just another dude.

Isn't the OP middle eastern? The next time I meet a cool Muslim will be the first time I ever met a cool Muslim. It's easy to see through his insecurities and that he was picked on a lot as a kid.

quote:I'll be honest Scimi, it's very ironic for you to say this. I'm single with no kids, so I'm in no position to say this to someone, but you have no kids either, and your posting history suggests your main focus in life at the moment is "your own little world" as well, so, this post seems a little hypocritical.
The inability of you people to look past your own little world never ceases to astound me.

quote:While I think this is obvious and goes without saying, I forgot that this was TexAgs: long hours and hard work are not the only thing a person has to do in order to be successful, but it's pretty difficult to do well with out it. I stand by my statement that there is no substitute for those two things, including raw talent, but thank you for your hyperbole and presumption. It made you sound highly intelligent. You can't get by on talent alone in a competitive industry. If you're able to do well without a lot of effort, then I am sincerely happy for you. What happens when you run across someone equally or more talented than you that puts the time in?
"There is no excuse for long hours and hard work to advance your career."
Arguably the most inaccurate and stupid post in the history of Texags. Something only someone young and inexperienced would ever say.
Working long hard hours for the man gets you promoted to another crappy position that requires long hard hours with no high end upward mobility. If you think top level positions are filled by those who work long hard hours, you are sadly mistaken. We hire you shmucks under us so that we can work work efficiently and control our situation.
Upward mobility is not determined by desk time... it is determined by ability to control the position and those around you, both up and down. You get those around you to work, not sit in your desk counting hours to prove how hard you work.
Long desk time is not the sign of a hard worker, it is the sign of someone whose children resent him, whose wife is giving oral favors in the shops of legacy parking lot, and someone who actually count the days they have been on vacation like it is reps on a weight machine (which I am sure you also count). Its not about the experience, its about the number of days.
I am sorry, but I feel you are very misguided and have a lot to learn.

Your attitudes change when you have kids.
And are female
Not always. Prior to being a parent and in my former career, I was on the road all over the country just listening to new bands. I would turn the trips into vacations.
Then I had a kid. My priorities deal with her, not my job.
Because you are female. It's the way you are wired. Men don't usually have this problem

The guys who slave away at their desk bragging about how they work 60 hours a week never go anywhere. Why would you promote a person who is taking 60 hours to accomplish their job? Do you really think giving him more responsibility is going to make him or her more efficient? Give him more responsibility and then that idiot will be in the office 80 hours a week. If anything the 60 hour guy needs to be demoted to a job they can accomplish in a normal work week.
quote:I sent my office staff home. Just wrapping up a couple more reports for the end of the year then bouncing until the 5th.
1:40 on Christmas Eve Eve and I am still here. I suck at life.
Ha, just kidding. About to bounce.

I give more responsibility to someone who has mastered his position, improves those above and below him, and doesn't need 60 hours a week to do it. I don't want to burn someone out. Congrats on being successful working one and a half times more than the others... but show me the guy who gets 98% of the production you do in 40 hours and I will show you the guy who is ready to step up.
