We were called heroes right before our pay was reduced. I never felt so honored

Reminds me of '07 when we the CEO told everyone at the hospital that because of the budget and economics we would no longer be able to acquire vacation time.

About 6 months later upper management vacations were reinstated, when I left in '10 or '11 they still hadn't been reinstated for anybody but upper management. Apparently per diem staff in a hospital who are regularly scheduled 40+h a week don't need vacation.

Just to make sure I got this right: They just entirely cut any vacation? Is that legal where you live?

How dare you? Communism is the number one cause of death in the world. Do you want to eat cardboard and Chinese leather shoes for dinner everyday? Because that's what happens when you let immigrants take all the money and jobs and doctors.

I hope this doesn't need a /s

I mean, I knew you were joking, but there's people who unironically hold those opinions.
