I will probably never see a dime of that. And I've never used an hour of it.
I'm healthy, and pretty fit.
I'd love to hear that I could get paid for my unused hours.
Always has been a rock in my gullet...
Of course I work for a private company.....
“I will probably never see a dime of that. And I’ve never used an hour of it.”
Where I work we use it or lose it (sick & vacation were combined into personal time years ago). I’m trying to use it up a day here, a day there, but not the way I’ve been forced to until recently: to get a day off I’d work 4 12-hours days.
The idea that these people are padding their retirements on the backs of the people who already pay them (with few such perks themselves) is disturbing; these municipalities/states are “kicking the can down the road” in such a way that whoever ends up holding the “hot potatoes” (the properties) will end up being bankrupted when it all collapses. Nobody wants to buy a home where buying it means buying a piece of the massive (hidden) debt. This will get worse as the increased property taxes push an increasing number of people above the Alternative Minimum Tax threshold - the tax deduction for the mortgage interest & taxes will in no way offset the tax burden itself.
California was furious as their financial state became public knowledge, because it basically warned off any individuals and corporations that didn’t want to get financially sodomized.
