As some of you know I recently found a job after being laid off since February. So far the job is a breeze and the pay is excellent and today I got a chance to talk with the owner of the company a little more. While talking to him he commented on my vacation time....vacation time, hell I just started working! He asked how long I had been in the work force.. like since I was 16 years old I said. He went on to say that he didn't feel it was right that that I should have to loose all I had worked for just because of the economy and then went on to tell me that my vacation time would be pro rated based on my age and the years of service I had given to the employers I had worked for during those 40some years. So, as of July 25th I will have 3 weeks vacation coming.....!!!!! I almost fell over when he said that and then he went on to tell me that if I worked the whole year with out missing a day he would pay me a 6 day pay at double time as a bonus at years end. Plus what the company pays as a year end bonus on top of that. Its about the easiest job I ever had. I come home clean, no more beating myself up working on machinery and with my knees being the way thay are its a God send. To anyone still looking for a job...don't quit looking, they are out there and every once in a while a diamond in the rough shows up.
