Todays Hypothetical - How Many Vacation Days Should New Employees Be Given?

This is a hypothetical that I’ve been thinking about lately.  How many vacation days should a new employee get in his 1st year of employment?  Because back in the early Barstool days I didn’t keep track of vacation days.  It was just expected that everybody would work 24/7 365 days a year.   If we didn’t blog every single day the company wouldn’t have survived.  Nobody bitched or complained about it.  It just was what it was.   We chose this life over corporate America and we were willing to do literally whatever it took to give us the best chance to survive.

Well obviously times have changed.  I’ve sold Barstool twice.  We’ve gone slightly corporate.  But to be honest I still don’t know how vacation days work here.  I know at one point you had to ask Zah permission to go on vacation.    I always looked at it like people can take as  much vacation time as they want.   The best people will work their asses off to build their profile.  The slackers will try to game the system and take as many vacation days as they can finagle.

So again I ask the question.   What is a typical amount of vacation days I should grant a new employee.  Like again hypothetically speaking if I have an employee (I don’t know we’ll call him Terrance Rosco) for the sake of this blog and he has taken 3 weeks of vacation already this year and he has only working for Barstool for 6 months is that a giant red flag or is that normal in today’s corporate America?
