Annual job review today: When is it OK to speak up about being underpaid?
RobbyMac:
Ya, I'll be right over ;)
In our company, we have about a dozen employees. All of us have taken the hit... it's more small family rather than corporate (none of us are related). We all spent the better half of last year taking days off without pay each week, or taking a day without pay and still working.
Now it's our busy season, and we've found that the volume hasn't really grown, but the turnaround time has shortened. It makes it very difficult, and we're all working pretty much 7 days a week trying to keep up. But because the volume hasn't grown, we will probably run dry again late summer when our slow season begins.
Difficult at my age to get up another career if I wanted to. Fact is, I don't want to... I love my work/field, so I will stick with it as long as I can. Even with what we've been facing, we all still enjoy what we do.

These benefits are matters of agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee's representative).
So, bottom line, if your employer says no vacation, then no vacation. You are officially what is considered an Employee-At-Will ! Basically you are at the will of the employer and the employer is at your will. You can work there with their conditions or you can quit! The vacation time as specified in the first part of the post is for minors in the State of Ohio.

Wow. Things are worse down there than I thought. Corporations have truly won and are wringing the american people for every drop.

It's all supply and demand. In my industry we still get treated very well. If you're in an industry where the supply of talent exceeds demand, you'll get treated pretty bad.
