    After surviving multiple rounds of layoffs and working 80+ hour weeks (as a salaried employee without overtime), I had my first vacation this year for a week between Christmas and New Years…and got sick Christmas morning. Just feeling better now, in time for work tomorrow!

      I’m luckily one of the “grandfathered” employees in my company meaning that I joined when the company is very small and got a very good contract compared to other new hires and they’re currently making my life hell in hopes to make me resign from the company. Unfortunately the job market is still hell. So, I’ve just got to hold on until I got fired to get that severance pay to act as a buffer money for me to start freelancing.

            Oh they’ve figured it out, but they aren’t uncomfortable enough just yet to take to drag the corpos out into the street. Now it’s a race between developing enough autonomous force to protect themsevles and their greed squeezing the working people harder until they rise up en-mase.
