Luckily I work for County Government. I was glad to see that we are OBLIGATED to take at least 60 hours a year off. Now granted, this isn't a problem for me, but I'm glad to know the attorney's I work...

I take all my vacation time PLUS (have used time with no pay and it was for family not vacation.) But I think I do understand these folks more than the average person on this forum would. I come from...

I've been reading all your postings with astonishment. What's wrong with taking what you earn? Could that really be a reason to put someone aside? Or to think of someone that (s)he's unreliable? Oh...

I think some people just go through different cycles of life, and it's reflected in their careers and how they handle the time off thing. I have several friends who are nurses. Each of them got to an...
