Unless your ancestors were pilgrims, what's this "we" ran here? And if you are....you should probably be aware that they did not run from England as much as got pushed out of England. The Puritans were considered so extreme, so outlandish in their faith, and so utterly closed minded about anything that didn't follow their faith, that the rest of the country hated them with a passion. They left because they were coming under more and more justified anger and hatred, and decided to travel to the New World where they can set up a community (cult) and lay down the rules per their beliefs. These are the people that got this country started as a Christofascist nation where belief in the Puritan religion was absolute, and any deviation could get you hanged, or burned. These are the people we can blame for this country's screwed up morality. This is the foundation of the white anglo-saxons in this country. And they continue it to this day.

I will admit, I was also surprised when I saw that article. It certainly feels like it's not true. I worked in the auto industry for 30 years. People suck. They will lie, cheat and steal if they can get away with it, so I'm not surprised if it was bullshit.

Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong. I thought for sure I read that employees are more honest about their work times than was originally thought. It was some sort of academic journal perhaps. Well, either way, I hate the entire idea of PTO. It's a way for the corporation to limit your days off and avoids paying you when they can. It's driven by greed and control.
