So, did you go to HR and ask for more vacation or flex time?

Agreed. Although, it was only 2 weeks after taking down Bill & Dave's pictures from the lobby of the main building on-site, so it was not shocking at all when it happened.

Very nice. Reminds me the all staff meeting at my (former) company where the President said "I know you are all disapointed by the wage freeze we are under this year, but with inflation running a little bit negative at the moment, it's still like getting a raise."

An unbelievably assinine thing to say. Nevermind that while it was true, that that quarter (I think) was very marginally negative on some inflation scale, but the whole year was positive.

We still talk about that one from time to time.
