That's what they give me to *start*. I've been there for not quite four months and I already have better than a week's paid time off coming. I can take a week off at Easter time with my kids, and two weeks this summer, and a week in the fall and a week over the holidays. I get to take them on honest-to-god family vacations for all those times.
Add to that full medical/dental/vision care, a good 401k plan and the best pay I'm likely to find in this city, and yeah, I'm gonna work for this friggin' company as long as I can.
Oh, and going back to the hangover bit- I know one guy who still works there who was very tired one night and half asleep as he pulled a lot from the scrubber. The plastic carrier the lot was housed in (called a cassette) tilted forward as he pulled it out and all 25 wafers hit the floor. That's $45,000 he just wrecked. They let him stay because at the time he was just plain sleepy, but had he been hung over his ass would have bounced on the pavement as they chucked him to the curb. I wouldn't have blamed them for it, either. How lightly would *you* treat it when someone destroys that much money? Especially if it was entirely preventable by just not showing up with a hangover in the first place?
Five weeks paid vacation per year.

YMMV, of course...
