A sharp eyed reader pointed out this amusing article in the Tribune from Monday:
- Good news, everyone. I'm ordering you to go on vacation.
I know, I know, you're not sure if this is the right time. Things are busy at work. You might not take any time off this year because of the economy. You want to impress the bosses with how hard you work.
Shut up and take some time off!
According to a survey conducted at the end of last year by the workforce consulting firm Right Management, about 70 percent of U.S. workers say they didn't use all their vacation time in 2011.
As a time-off enthusiast, that baffles me. I understand the worries some have about the fragility of the job market, but if you're lucky enough to have a job that gives you paid vacation, that time belongs to you.
Someone want to forward this one to McPlymouthRock and the command staff as they continue to screw each and every cop who asks for a day off here and there while burning out every single one of us with their nonsense and BS number games?
Remember, we earned that time due. We earned it by staying late, attending court, missing family stuff, all for the citizens of Chicago and in the service of the law. The unreasonableness of the current regime is going to bite them in the ass, if it isn't already.
