Every year i have the same complaint at this time of year and every year i coplai to the mother in law, only to be told to suck it up!! I can not understand the American work Ethic at this time of year. Coming from a country that uses this time of year to enjoy some down time and recharge the batteries it does my head in that for christmas we are given 1 day of holiday, christmas day. I have always felt that it detracts from the festive season. Every year christmas just feels like any other public holiday.
I guess i shouldnt be suprised. Throughout the year i am given 3 sick days (compared to 10 at my last job in oz). I mean seriously, 3 days?? You get sick one time and there goes your entire years worth. In Australia we are given 4 weeks holiday per year but over here its only 1 week....what can you possibly do with only 1 weeks vacation??
I just dont understand what they get out of life if they are expected to work all year long with nothing in sight to look forward to and have to back it up year after year. I know in Australia just about everyone looks forward to their summer break....they just dont know what they are missing out on over here............
(Are you shaking your head right now Kathy??)
