Rod we know Karen. We all know she works hard. She works so hard her bones hurt. Even when the weather says “stay home” Karen says “no”. But we all want Karen to be around for a long time, so I’m glad you’ve suggested to her to take some time off. Over the years I noticed that many employers will use you until you can’t work anymore and then they’ll drop you. My friends and I are in our late 20s and many of us spend most of our time at work. I’ve been taking more PTO as I get older because I see other coworkers who seem to regret working so much in their younger years. I agree that people need to work in order to support their lifestyle, but Americans work way too damn much. Just like you guys mentioned, employers hire you with expectations of PTO and Holidays but once you’re on the job they imply that you must work everyday. As I was quitting my last job I heard through the grapevine that managers don’t like it when you use PTO during your last 2 weeks, but nobody vocally said that to me…..I took so much PTO and wished a mother fucker would say something. People need to understand what they’re worth, and as the economy gets better they should also understand that they don’t need to stay at a job they aren’t happy with.
Those frat boys taking minutes reminded me of that scene in The Wire where Avon’s crew was meeting at the church to discuss drug business and one of the young dudes was gonna take notes trying to impress and Stringer said something like “Nigga! Is you taking notes of a criminal enterprise?” Yeah that shit can be used against you later like exposing these rapey dudes.
Great show! Karen was in rare form with her rant on vacation days and I was here for it!!
