Work always seems to finish early on a Friday and especially on a bank holiday. So, I think they probably make up the days - but never get the chance to relax on a really long break.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352484297955368438.post-66770439037879911132010-07-25T09:29:41.187-07:002010-07-25T09:29:41.187-07:00I do think the American holiday allowance is ridic...I do think the American holiday allowance is ridiculous. My brother lives and works in New York, and whenever he comes over it's a real whirlwind visit. He rarely stays longer than 3-4 days and spends most of it jet-lagged, trying to catch up with friends and family.<br /><br />Please don't let it catch on over here.That's Not My Agehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052973075052114955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352484297955368438.post-89173435716502285302010-07-25T06:56:24.871-07:002010-07-25T06:56:24.871-07:00I have certainly had my share of competitive worki...I have certainly had my share of competitive working environments and reading this reminds me of another silver lining of no longer being part of the 'rat race'. Less than 14 days a year to feed your soul in some way does not sound enough to me. Maybe I am getting closer to achieving balance in my life than I realised!!<br /> <br />I also wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for 'One Lovely Blog Award.' It's only a small thing and as an established writer, I'm sure it is not needed. But as one of my favourite blogs, I wanted to acknowledge you!

California for example allows an employer to fire someone, with no notice, for no reason. Of course employees can also walk away with no notice.
