So I guess in the end, drinking beer on the 24 hour company paid vacations in cool destination is neat and all... But if I have to chose, I'll take our pay rates and use my profit sharing check to pay for a meaningful vacation in places I WANT to go when I WANT to go there with people I WANT to be there with. In the meantime, I'll learn to love London/Paris/Amsterdam/Inchon/Shanghai/Beijing. That all assumes of course jobs/hours are protected.
