It can be really tough when you’re new at your job, the low person on the totem pole, and are wanting to spend some time away with your family over the holidays. You have to put in your dues, etc, and most of us know that going in.
What happens when you’re not new and your job still tells you to not even bother asking for time off at that most wonderful time of the year?
Well, for one thing, the internet comes flying to your defense.
15. It forces people to prioritize.
Which might come back to bite employers in the butt.
14. The math really isn’t that complicated.
Why does everyone seem to think that it is?
13. You can’t have it both ways.
People sure are going to try, though.
12. Then pay us more money?
Again, the concept is not difficult.
11. They owe you that time off.
They need to hire more people to make it work.
10. The smiley face should make it all better.
Seriously, it’s more like a slap in the face than anything.
9. It’s not hard if you care about your employees, you mean.
Which apparently too many people don’t.
8. Well that sounds awful.
I bet they wanted to know when you were coming back to work, too.
7. It’s pretty brazen.
It’s almost like she doesn’t realize it’s awful.

6. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Money be da*%ed.
5. Are people really that obtuse?
I want to believe they’re not.
4. Also, shouldn’t you be able to earn that time off?
Is that total crazy talk?

3. It appears it’s working.
As far as the news is concerned, anyway.
2. A sad state of affairs.
I guess you know what you’re getting into, though.

1. Oh yeah you know they’ll be home with their families.
And you won’t be allowed to call with any problems.
I mean, how can they just drop this blanket statement? Wild, right?
