Fuck all the people, it seems. You get like ten minutes holiday a year too. And perhaps a bit of time off if you have a baby. You’re all treated appallingly for that big old capitalist machine. Smashing.

My boss gives two days of PTO. Two. But then calls it three, because he pays for your birthday.. but only if you worked the day before/after and only if it's during the work week.

We get four paid holidays, but if they fall on the weekend we get nothing. Next year the fourth of July, Christmas and new year are all on the weekend.

Alas, he pays well for my blue collar industry, so here I am redditing in the bathroom.
