Q: A new survey found you’re MORE likely to get a raise if you take advantage of this regarding your job?

A: take vacation days.

A new survey found that you’re MORE likely to get a raise or a bonus if you take at least 11 vacation days a year.

Here are a few more results from the survey . . .

  1. The main reason people pass on taking vacations is they hate the mountain of work that’s waiting for them when they get back.
  1. 58% say their boss isn’t very supportive of them taking vacation time.
  1. And the average person took 20 vacation days a year between 1976 and 2000 . . . but that’s down to 16 vacation days a year today.
