      Which is likely less than your full time rate, or it’s accounted for in total yearly “salary”. You’re paying for it somehow, even if it’s making a dollar less instead.

      And think more the lowly workers, the ones that only get 2 weeks, and that’s because they’re forced to by laws.

        Lowly workers? I had five weeks paid as a dishwasher. Make unions strong and reap the benefits.

          They have their own issues, as described in my story in another comment.

          They made a company waste millions of dollars replacing a job, than forced them to remove the machine and reinstate the worker.

          They create problems where they are none, than celebrate when they win.

          You are also fooling yourself if you don’t think you’re not paying for that time off another way. Most people would rather have the higher hourly rate.

            I like the time off. I like having the ability to plan a trip every year (near or far), and not having to worry about how my bills are going to get paid.

            Much better for my mental health than to work those weeks and not have anything to look forward to.

            Most people are morons who trade their entire lives for a slightly nicer bed to die in
