This man was just off for the Christmas Holidays. He seems to be off a good 5 or 6 weeks a year. When I worked I only received 2 weeks off. And many people only get one week off.

 

Yes, companies differ in the amount of time off that is allowed.

@nomless@Reever

It's the amount of time that you have been with your company. Two weeks off generally is for employees with less than five years. The longer you have been with the company the more hours that you accrue.

 

That's been my experience at least.

@Reever- The hosts are not 9-5 hourly workers.  You do understand that, right?

David has been with QVC for 25 years.  Most companies give you more vacation days the longer you work for them.  When I reached 25 years at my former place of employment I had accrued six weeks of vacation every year.

My UPS Man gets 6 weeks off every year.  He's going on a week long cruise at the end of the month and he takes the entire month of July off every year.  He's been with UPS for over 20 years.  Many people get a lot of vacation time.

One of my BFF's has worked for his company for almost 30 years. He takes his birthday month off "June" every year.

I'm  totally shocked he would dare to take time off without the viewers permission!  HA!HA!  I feel certain he'll be back.

After being w/QVC for 25 years, I wouldn't be surprised if David gets 5 or 6 weeks of vacation time.  That's a long time to be w/a company and I don't begrudge him the time off at all.  I think it's fair for anyone w/that longevity.
