That would actually be a deal breaker for me.

I don't need 5 weeks vacation working in a job I don't hate. I have been taking days just to give my nerves a break. Plus, he is giving the office a free week of vacation between Christmas and New Years which I believe he does every year so it'll essentially be three weeks.

Would you rather be miserable for 47 weeks per year and happy for 5 or happy for 52 weeks per year? That is what I was looking at.

I think I would be miserable if I missed out on trips. I understand why you did it.. just not for me.

Now, if I actually liked my job and was only looking around for an increase in salary or something I would have a hard time giving up 3 weeks of vacation for a slight bump in pay.

Nah, it's a small operation (only 8 employees) and the salary they are offering me is already higher than they were planning on giving so I really wasn't too worried about it.

Congrats on the move. I made the same move from corporate world to small company 15 years ago and have loved it ever since.

Good luck and be sure and call Bucknuts to tender on offer for this shithole!!!:D
