you work for to stick it!"
I had a discussion similar to this recently. I took a week off last year
for some family time and no vacation time since then. An acquaintance
heard of this, and told me I should get rid of my boss for not giving me
enough time off. I was rather sheepish when I told the acquaintance that I
was the boss who wouldn't give me time off.
We know how set upon the employees of the world are for only having one,
two or eight weeks off for vacation. How about the guys who pay for these
vacations? Do they get better "benefits" in Germany and the rest of Europe
than we give ourselves in the U.S.?
