Of course he's joking. *He's just a bad negotiator.* My last job I negotiated 28 days paid vacation, plus another 13 paid holidays, plus 21 sick days (which carry over and add up next year if I don't use them), plus 40 maternity days if necessary, plus 3 personal days for a total (potential) of 105 paid days off.

That's right ... *21 weeks* - out of 52.
