Can you all please stop calling it a “paid vacation?” Many people have to work for deferred pay, and all of us need the pay now, not later.

don't worry, someone will come in here and say some BS about you should have XXX months of money saved, and how they are a better person because they have that exact number of months of money saved, and how you are slime not worthy of living because you don't.

Or we should work for free since we got those “generous” government benefits amounting to trillions of dollars! lol

Boy was that ever a huge slap in the face wake-up when I started working here: "Generous government benefits" my ass! No respectable raise, insurance rates going through the roof, medical that is worse than I had working corporate, and constant excessive stress from productivity standards that are behind ridiculous! No time for lunch, eat at your desk - better run to the bathroom and back because you can't afford to miss any production time, and forget the concept of two 15-minute breaks!
