      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.

          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.

            Don’t rub it in. I know.

            I want to leave so bad.

          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
