Why does it seem to take more time to get ready to take time off? Americans take less time off than any other developed country. We are working more hours and by every sign being compensated less during this down economy. I continue to hear story after story of companies and bosses taking advantage of the down economy and the lack of jobs to get more out of their employees without compensating them more. I cannot but wonder what will happen when the economy improves. Where will the loyalty be then? You reap what you sow. Companies cannot take advantage of employees now and expect them to stay when the economy improves and other opportunities present themselves.
