Maybe when I started 45-50 hour work weeks were the norm. Now that I am further into my career, I work a pretty flexible 45ish hour week, work from home full time, and have 29 days vacation.
I have Anthem BCBS through work, and in the 14 years I've had it, I've never run into a place that has not taken it. I've had great experiences the times I've needed it. ie getting back surgery, wrist surgery, and a couple other things. They never cost me more than maybe a couple hundred out of pocket in a year. I remember going to my urologist for kidney stones, and was pleasantly surprised they had a CT scan in their office, and took me 15 minutes to go downstairs and come back up and look at the results during my appointment.

You are exceptionally fortunate then. Your healthcare plan is obviously the Rolls Royce plan compared to what the vast majority of people have access to. I would have to say that you have an employer that is providing benefits well beyond the norm. Your vacation time alone is time is double what the national average is. Did you know that? That in most professional jobs you start out with 10 days per year. After five years you get a little less than an extra week, on average. After 15 years on the job you are likely to be at 17 days. So your 29 days is unheard of.

My only question is, who do you work for and are they hiring?
