Orange 'n Black Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I get 2 weeks as a salaried engineer right out of college. I think that's pretty standard for folks like me. Of course, I burned em all before September. If I had 7 weeks, I don't think I could string together a coherent project... I'd get a wild hair around 2pm every Thursday and decide to tell Friday to fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
