yeah it feels like my vacations just exist to give me enough time to heal from my body's slow deterioration under the normal workflow. Only to immediately find myself exhausted and sore within a couple weeks.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I guess what's surprising me is that I never even considered using it for anything else
Is this a sign of a healthy society?
I never managed to bank any leave/pto while I was working fulltime because every time i had a single day I'd crash out and call in sick
Remember when Sanders was calling for the almighty 36 hour work week and libs were celebrating him for it? Lol
i work 3 days a week over two jobs and its almost more than i can manage
Hey some of us are depressed and poor!
I have done this 
long covid type shit
Hey now, sometimes cognitive decline just does that. 
This me when I get scheduled for six day weeks or being asked to come in an hour before my start time
My favorite is being scheduled for a "4 day week" followed by a "3 day week" so you're actually working a 7 day work week but not getting overtime 
This sounds illegal, but knowing this piece of shit country, I wouldn't be surprised if your state allows this (assuming you live in the US)
Yeah I'm in a part of the US where there are basically no employment laws at all. Employers don't even legally have to give me any breaks, ever.
I'm stuck in a similar state myself, yet I'm the entitled one for refusing to let these people continually fuck me over.
Right to work! (With no breaks)
hey uh maybe your boss has a boating accident
I assumed she has 2 jobs, otherwise IDK lol
Oh that's insidious.
Hey. Its me
Yea I’m not feeling guilty for this. I do it frequently. Sometimes I just want to sleep in when no one is gonna bother me
just sleepin for 10h 
Well deserved
Millennials be going through their eebycore phase rn and are sleepmaxxing.
I've been doing that for the entire year just to recover from the burnout of a failed project.
And buddy, my time off isn't even paid. 
I feel called out
I did that shit this very morning
i thought i was the only one who did this
That sounds awesome, I wish I had any PTO or vacation.
Huh. Thought I was the only one.
What's PTO again? Google saying it's reflux meds. Realy?
Paid time off. We usually one get a few sick days of any, so personal days dip into our pool of paid leave.
Oh, ok. Thanks! US labour system is alien to me.
I literally did this yesterday and the day. before lol
me asf
