So we have 42 days leave, that gives us exactly 6 times one week vacation since we don't get days off around our leave. 42 days is exactly 42 day if we get them at all.
Now in the office they get 30 days. 1 Week leave costs them 5 days but they can spend 9 days on leave since you have a weekend on either side. So 30 devide by 5 equals 6, times 9 equals 54. This doesn't include public holidays...
But hey we only do 100 plus block hours (for the office staff, that is not the same as duty hours! They will be even more!) a month with a recurrent squeezed in, change our biological clock at least twice a week, cross timezones and work when everybody else is sleeping and on top of that trying to keep everybody safe
