Big Generation Gaps in Work Attitudes Revealed

Oh... and just cause people were posting it...

I left a job with 15 vacation days, 7 personal days which could be used as vacation days, and 12 sick days per year... I basically set my own schedule, but on occassion was required to work odd and weekend hours.

I got a new job with 14 vacation days, 6 personal days, and no specified limit on sick days.... set my own schedule... can work at home sometimes if I want and have to travel about 10% of the time... no weekends though.

Truth is... I tried to negotiate less vacation/personal days for more money, but they wouldn't do it. I still ended up negotiating about an 8% increase from their initial offer.
