I've seen this mentioned several times on here lately. Is it really all that unusual for you all to get a whole week off of work?

I'm in the construction industry where things are busier than they've ever been. I've got crews pissed off that they could not work today due to the holidays. If I can do without you for two weeks, I can do without you.

So yeah, more than one continuous week off is almost unheard of for essential personnel in my field.
