  • Not sure where you’re from, but it’s pretty common here in Australia. I think there are a few things to addresses.

    There are two mechanisms a company might make you take leave.

    1. A company shut down period. Eg company is closed over Christmas to new years and requires employees to take a week of leave then.

    2. Over a threshold of leave. Leave won’t evaporate at the end of a calendar year, it builds each day and can only be used or paid out. Companies will often have a threshold, for example 8 weeks of leave before they may require you to create a plan to use it, or pay it out. The reason an employer does this is staff leave is a liability on the books. Eg If you make $100k, 8 weeks leave is approprimately a $16k liability for the employer.






  • I used the A71 early 2020 till about a month or two ago, and it was a fantastic phone. Only reason I moved was it’s out of support, so no more security updates.

    The battery was still rated at >90%. And I’d believe it, I never had to worry about it lasting a whole day. My only complaint about the phone was even during its support period the security patches were infrequent.

    I contemplated Samsung again but chose a Pixel 9a due to the monthly security updates for 7 years. And in doing so I’ve given up dual sim, headphone jack and sd card slot (but few phones have all those features now).

    I’m curious what made your experience with the A71 so terrible?
