    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

        Damn that sucks. In the UK a full time employee gets a minimum of 28 days off a year, and you’ll probably be encouraged to at least tell the company how you’ll use them before the end of the financial year, depending on how the company does time off.
