I hear European CEOs demand much lower salaries. Could save a bundle right there.

They also demand and take vacation and obey time off the clock. Employees, too. American business doesn’t like that.

I'll just just repeat this here. I am a US laborer. I got two days paid time off last year, and when I brought it up, my boss suggested saving them for an emergency. I got an email January 1 that they disappeared.

Save your days off for when you’re dying. But don’t worry, we’ll fire you when you’re sick enough first.

Advice for others reading this:

  • know the vacation policy.
  • do days carry over to next year?
  • what happens if you go over. (Sometimes one is fired, othertimes one only ~~looses a day of pay~~ don't get paid for that day.)

Edit: clarification
