OK, I'll put this here because I'm not really pissed off about it, so much as disgusted by it.
Riots in France for a week all because the government is going to raise retirement from 60 to 62. WTF!! They are allready spoiled enough. One month of Vacation time plus those additional National holidays, 35 hour mandated work weeks. They cry because they have to work two more years?
Anyone my age and below in the US cant reach full retirement until the age of 70 now, 40 hour work weeks are the norm if not more overtime, and Vacation time in most cases is cut at two weeks, half of us do not get sick leave, so many of us don't get company funded healthcare, and these people are crying over 2 years added to their retirement??!!!!
Maybe I'm just jelous of their extra down time, I know I'm jelous that I only hope to live to be 70 to retire, so then I can work part time someplace to subplement my non existent social security check. Edited at: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 3:50:44 PM Edited at: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 3:56:06 PM
