I'm going on vacation in August for a week. Probably the longest I've ever taken at one time. I'm not a big vacation person haha. I like to work.

Still hard to imagine. We are forced by law to take at least 12 days in a row once a year here.

Only found a PDF source in English

Federal German Paid Leave Act
§ 7 Paragraph 2, second sentence:

"Where the vacation days cannot be granted consecutively for these reasons and the employee has a claim to vacation of more than 12 working days, one portion of the vacation shall comprise at least 12 consecutive working days."

What am I doing right now? Fighting with RingCentral for the last 7 days to attempt to get them to address a problem we have been experiencing with outgoing faxes when it goes through the Fax "Printer". Happens on multiple computers, multiple files, etc not constrained to 1 environment. They escalated it, deescalated it due to it being a problem with the file (even though i told them it happened on mutiple files), escalated it again, and desecalated it due to lack of troubleshooting. Then they want me to repeat the hour+ of testing we did on Friday. All the while promising me call backs every step of the way and never calling me back.

sorry needed to vent, I cant wait for our PBX upgrade and for me to take all of this back in-house.
