sorry dude, but you coming on here complaining that they're making you take the vacation time you're due IS boohooing about it.....
So if you don't want to take the time because "you have nothing to do" why not take the time, and volunteer somewhere? Hospitals always need volunteers, animal shelters, and hey, you could go feed the homeless........
Nah, I don't do shit like that. In part because I used to volunteer, until I realize that you give them an inch, they want you to give them a mile. Plus, I quit getting the warm fuzzy feeling of helping others, and instead felt resentment at being expected to bust my ass for nothing, not even a smile or a thank you. Besides, they want more than a week.
and, no offense, but I think, and I bet your HR dept does to, there is something seriously wrong with someone who doesn't want to take their allotted vacation time......seriously, IMO this is like someone getting a job at a company that offers free supplemental healthcare and the employee saying "thanks but no thanks"....or a homeless person having a kind hearted soul buy them a big mac meal and them refusing because they have to watch their cholesterol.....
First off, I don't care what the HR department thinks. As far as I'm concerned HR is just another term for 'people' or 'the neighbors' or what ever faceless group you mustn't upset. (I mean what would the neighbors think?) Second, what other people think is none of my business. It's their problem that I don't want to take time off. I have no problem there, my problem is their nagging me to take it. And are you telling me that there's something seriously wrong with someone when they enjoy coming to work? Or maybe it's the other way around?
So you're saying because I'm covered for new glasses every two years I
should get new glasses every second year, even if I don't need or want them? See I'm a silly person like that. If I don't want or need something, even if it's offered, I'll generally refuse it. The concept seems to confuse a lot of people.
I mean, you're fucking complaining because your employer wants to PAY you to sit at home......really? REALLY?
No, I'm actually complaining that a) they are most insistent (read nagging) that I take it, and b) they choose not to respect my decision no to use them.
Dude, for the last time, if you can't find ANYTHING to do on your time off, there's something seriously wrong with you......no to be insulting...but there is....at any given moment I have a todo list that is weeks long.......
Or maybe I'm just that much more organized. I mean I do typically make the following day's meals the previous night, while doing laundry and planning the next day's work out. But then again, I typically only plan a few days in advance.
