Is it bad to consider self-inflicted injury just to get out of going to your job?

Haaaaaaa he's lucky they don't just take him out back and shoot him. Everywhere I've gone, people in sales are treated as a lower life form, maybe a little more valuable than a dumb, tick-ridden dog, and dogs don't get holidays off. Tsuyu here probably works holidays in place of humans who do get holidays off.

I never got paid holiday either in any of my jobs - I was asking in case he was one of those lucky lucky people who get paid to relax. I was always the monkey who worked for peanuts whilst the organ grinders sat on beach drinking cocktails.

I like your thinking :sly:

I exploit business loopholes all the time - that's what they're there for. If you can't be bothered to make a water-tight contract then don't start bleating when your employees take full advantage of your sloppiness and take liberties. When we owned a company three years ago one of the employees tried to screw us out of a sizeable amount of money using the often-mistaken view that overtime means being paid for your extra hours. No, it doesn't. Unless it's specified in your contract, either verbally or in writing. Time and a half/double time doesn't exist either on that basis. Needless to say, they got nothing out of me and sensibly didn't try to pursue it either - their contract was entirely verbal with the previous employer and when that person no longer held the company, that contract was effectively terminated. I offered a meeting to draw up new working terms but they refused and so they paid for it by working overtime for me for free thinking they would be entitled to a huge payout. Silly, silly people... :devil:
