If it wasn't for the fact I'm just weary from all the mountains of shit these so-called journalists pour out of their mouths I'd be screaming like Matt Christman right now

At my job, new hires have to wait an entire year before they give them any vacation time.

I worked at a place that sourced and handled touristy souvenirs and other garbage for those stores you see in cities and airports like "Boston Memories". Essentially I was folding cheap t-shirts and putting a price tag on them all day. I was told that I couldn't get vacation or insurance until a 6 month probationary period was over. Then after 6 months they dropped my hours to part time so I got no benefits at all.

Same at my place with insurance. They cut it to three months temporarily due to the labor shortages during the pandemic. I'm fortunate in that I was able to get a full time position right away.

We used to have that here as well, although you could transfer paid vacation from one job to the next you still had to work for a full year to get paid time off so if you were entering the workforce you were fucked.

Luckily they changed the law a few years ago so you now start earning paid time off full the moment you begin working.

They'd never do that in America.

The workers at my job couldn't organize a birthday party, let alone a union.
