Working Hard?
Two related stories about working hard in the U.S.: U.S. workers are granted less (and take less) vacation time than workers in other industrialized nations. And if that wasn't enough, changes to the overtime laws will eliminate overtime pay for many workers.
rofl.. This either gets modded down as a troll because the person is saying people have to work hard to get ahead in life.. Or because of the liberal comment.. Which was a lot nicer than most of the anti-bush comments I see that get modded +5 Funny
Times like this I wish I had mod points to offset some of the morons around here..
could this be because the strong dollar ?
The people are having to work a lot to stay competitive with the international markets and some more to balance the exchange rate of the dollar. Unless the dollar weakens i dont see this trend changing.
Siggy Say, Siggy Do
Actually, it's a finite resource. Let's see...
24 hours a day * 30 days a month = 720 hours
A good worker only needs to sleep for 20% of the day, so:
720 * 0.2 = 144
720 - 144 = 576
Obviously, if you have the best interests of the company at heart, you'll work 576 hours a month.
But if you really want that promotion, I'm sure you'll work at least 600 hours...
