Yeah. Two weeks vacation is pretty ridiculous for anyone with experience especially someone leaving her kids back in Europe. If you're going to go to lengths to recruit all star scientists to EDM and it's crap weather i dont think the wife asking for 11 days unpaid vacation should be a deal breaker for the University. I've asked for the same from a salaried job and was granted it and i didnt even have kids back in Europe. And then the guy offers to run the program on the cheap from England and the University isn't interested.
Sounds like a real petty squabble from the University's end. Doesn't surprise me as big administrations often are uncompromising even on matters that shouldn't be huge deals.
