Draconian vacation policies for US slave workers

Interesting about the vacation thing. As I have posted before, new employees get 1 week vacation the first year and 2 weeks vacation per year for the next few years. In almost all companies it's 3-4 weeks after 5 years. So it's 3-4 weeks once you've gained 5 years experience - http://www.bls.gov/nls/y79r20jobsbyedu.pdf suggests that between 18 and 38 the average is 10 jobs, now of course it's likely a number of those are very short before you settle on one, however the number of unemployment spells indicate that it's unlikely that all those people are in the same job post 30, see http://www.bls.gov/nls/y79r20unempbyage.pdf So if you're right and you need 5 years experience to get 3 or 4 weeks, then lots of people rarely attain this.

"Lots of people"? Maybe. The majority of people end up staying at one job for quite some time. You're right in your first conclusion that young people often change jobs very frequently. If they do that, why should their boss give them paid vacation? Or more than a week or so? I would guess just from personal experience that by the time people are 25-30 years old, the vast majority are in the job that they are going to be doing for a very long time. And then they are getting plenty of vacation. Vacation that they have "earned". |

Dammed right they do, failure to do so leaves them open to a malpractise suit. No, it does not. The whole purpose of the lawyer is to interpret the law for her client and make appropriate recommendations; if the client could do that by just reading a list of citations, he wouldn't need a lawyer. Lawyers submit jurisprudence for the purpose of persuading other lawyers (such as judges). That is the last thing they would normally do for most clients, and if that's all they did, then they would certainly be falling short of their duty to clients. Those that do lose their cases and clients Unfortunately, no. Jury trials are usually decided by factors other than citations of existing jurisprudence. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
