Survey Results Day: Holidays and vacation time
Posted by Jesse Nunesat 12:27 PM
In last week's poll, we asked you if the current economic slump was going to change how you use vacation days around the holidays. The thinking was that, when workers are uncertain how long they'll have a job, they'll likely try and save their vacation days, because those can equate to fully paid days if a layoff comes.
Here are the results of the survey:

It looks like a majority of people aren't going to let the gloomy economic news impact their holiday plans. Still, a pretty high percentage -- almost 28 percent -- indicated they are saving more of theier vacation days this year. Another 7 percent felt some guilt about using vacation days. Pretty interesting.
This week's poll also has a holiday theme, as we ask: Will you be attending your company's holiday party this year?
And if you're unsure of how to celebrate the holidays with your co-workers, you may want to egt in on the ground floor of a new holiday on it's way up: The Sweater Vestival. Classy.
