Yeah it is to my understanding that North america works stupidly longer than the rest of the world.. I read an essay about it last year.

I work so many hours so I can be a good citizen and pay lots and lots of income tax so that my government can squander it however they please  |

Does your asshole feel a little bit larger?
Cause it looks like your taking it up the sphincter compared to your other co-workers.

At least I'm taking the week before christmas off. But we are a British company. I think we should have British holidays.

well... the rest of the world has less of those holiday-days that they celebrate in the US... like thanksgiving, haloween and labour day... and maybe you guys have a longer summer holiday, so you should have about as much days off as every1 else... "should"  |

"should" I get 9 holidays per year off. I know the UK has at least 8 (which only includes christmas, boxing day, and new years) - as posted above, they have that whole week off, so that's more than 8. Also, I get vacation accrued at 1.33 days per month until my TENTH year (3 weeks). They get 1.67 days per month until their THIRD year (4 weeks) and then get 2 days per month (almost 5 weeks). Also, they get to work 37.5 hours/day - 40 for us - and this is all within the same company... |
