Anon, there are jobs you there… you just have to keep looking… and make sure you are up front about the flexibility. My job is very very very flexible - we started with 4 weeks paid time off per year right off the bat (prorated based on which month you were hired). We have one big bank of hours and you can use them for whatever you want - vacations, sick days, don’t feel like going to work days, doctor appointments, etc. I personally am now up to 6 weeks paid time off - I’ve taken three vacations already this year and I have one next week as well. Also, usually you can take off a day (or half a day) during the week and work the saturday to make it up. We can usually leave like a half hour or an hour early and make it up another day too, though that is up to the manager. You just need to keep your eyes posted for jobs that allow for things like that.
