Dave Hardy has some interesting developments, but I’m still trying to wrap my head around this one:
It says he’s taking annual leave from the agency (apparently planning to retire once that runs out). This is quite unusual. You can always take your annual leave, but taking another job while on it is another question.
Man, I bet most of us wish our jobs had vacations policies this generous.
I don’t know if it works this way still, but it used to be that working for the fed gov got you a pool of sick leave that never stopped accumulating. In other words, you could literally have several months of accumulated leave over the course of several years.
You’re right though, a lot of people would love to have a leave policy that generous.
