Where is SuffolkPunch?

[EliKoehn]

No activity from our insightful mod that I'm aware of in about two weeks. If he decided he was done policing spam, I don't blame him, but I hope he's okay...

Anyone have an idea?

[Sophus]

He got punched in Suffolk and is recovering from a concussion

[AdamWW]

I mean where is literally ANY mod right now?

Seems like they’re sleeping on the job

[EiFit91]

I think he mentioned something a while ago about having a lot of stuff on his plate.

I have guessed that he is on vacation now. I think vacations in Europe are usually longer than in the US?

In any case, you can definitely notice how important he is for the forum quality. The troll goes unchecked, there’s more spam that’s not deleted, etc...

Just for reference, I had to work my current job for 6 years to qualify for 15 days' vacation, which I consider pretty good.

I've been amazed by many Europeans having like a third of the year off, all said. I am proud to be an American, but sometimes it seems like Europe is a virtual paradise; surrounded by history, culture, beautiful countryside everywhere, more leisure...

wow... that's crazy

the company i'm at has a super generous time off schedule, and we actually have two fully paid additional vacation windows around July4th and Christmas which are at least a full week off.

Since COVID started, they started instituting an additional fully paid day off every month... pretty crazy.

i work in IT. a vendor we bought software from was from Sweden and every year we would get an email from them along the lines of “let us know if you need anything from us before we take summer off”. which was a nightmare because if you had any problems all summer even their helpdesk had the summer off. we eventually got rid of them for that reason. cool in theory but good luck if you want to own a business like that.

i wonder why they're not "hiring" new people, as in, letting them do it for free

In Spain we normally get a paid-month's holiday every year. Teachers are off all July and August, plus a few days in September.

[SuffolkPunch]

Oh hi

I'm still here. Just on strike since I'm sick of deleting spam. The admins do have a plan for this but it doesn't appear to have kicked in yet.

Yep, I went on holiday - to Devon which was surprisingly hot by UK standards (just like me)

is that the same as Devonshire? if so I have heard of that from people in my London office.

[SuffolkPunch]

Whoops, what am I saying? It was actually Dorset - which is the county next to Devon. Yes you can call Devon Devonshire if you want but most people don't seem to. Just another British idiosyncrasy.

I've heard of the 2nd Devons from the movie 1917.

Wow! I get 26 paid days off a year plus bank holidays (public holidays for you Americans)

I can't believe you barely get time off, is that the norm in the states?

It varies greatly depending on the job/company, but in a lot of office jobs even where you get 4 weeks paid vacation/year, you're not really supposed to take all of them. I worked for a company years back where you got an unlimited amount vacation days/year, but again, not really supposed to take many. Really just a way to eliminate any expectation of taking an exact # of days off.

it depends on the demand for that job. Jobs in high demand can get a few weeks off per year. at my last job you started at 2, after 5 years, you got 4, then after 15 years you got 6 and could accrue up to 260 hours(32 days). But good luck taking more than a week off at once. if you took 2 weeks off and they survived without you, you may not have a job to come back to, since they don’t really need you if they can get by without you. In reality, if you took a week off, you had to bust your arse for a week or two just to catch up to where you were before you left, probably having to work 60 hours a week.

jobs in low demand would get far fewer days off , if any. or you may be able to take a day off here and there but unpaid.

I can only take two weeks of if I work like 2-3 weeks of 70-80 weeks before/after then pay another atty to watch my case load and on vacation. I also have to still be available for calls, and check into the office at least twice a day :/



I think he posted today. But I miss seeing crappy spam threads be deleted

edit: you’re alive. If you wanted to I don’t mind deleting spam threads if admin would let me do it

[SuffolkPunch]

^ Snails you would need to be a mod to do that. By all means apply and I'll support it.

[SuffolkPunch]

BTW, if anything really bugs you guys, send me a PM. I'll still throw out the drunks, I just won't sweep the floor anymore.

How many paid vacation days does she get?

The same as the number of paid work days...

I’m going to do that today. The spam is getting ridiculous in the supplement section.

The body fat estimation thread is full of it as well...

Figuring that out successfully is part of the evaluation process.

I think you make a new thread in that subforum, which is a private thread that only you and the mods can read.

That thread will be your submission.
