The new America people, I didn't know that there were states out there that denied breaks - that is so, so very wrong.

I am lucky I have a job, but I know my boss would love for people to not have breaks, etc. I am luckier than a lot of people though, he does provide healthcare, sadly unless you are in management no one can afford. Yep, we have vacation time - somehow never gets used and yes we are given sick time - if you are off for more than one day they are asking you why are you taking excessive sick time. (I was also asked that in a hospital when I had a series of bad colds and didn't want to get the patients' sicker).

Of course, can't remember my last pay raise - for a couple of years they have been on a "we have to save/cut, while we rescue the company" meanwhile top management flies all over the country for meetings that could be done via skype, but then they wouldn't get to stay in the nicer hotels and live it up.
