washington dc's federal employees get 11 federal holidays, which are paid days off.  these are in addition to the us standard 2 weeks paid vacation, monthly sick time, and, special for federal employees, 2 weeks of professional training (which is not training for your job to cover changes, but is like going to college to advance your career), as well as 8 months of paternity leave, bereavement, sick family member, medical, dental, vision, retirement, and housing placement assistance, as well as childcare. the people these leeches take money from are blessed if they can afford to not work on christmas. we have too many federal holidays. a year 1 federal employee gets 2.5 months paid away from desk, and that only grows with "seniority."
