Of course the bosses complain! But why give a benefit and not expect it to be used? Esp. if you don't get paid out for accumulated time after leaving or retiring. Workers have woken up to the fact that the bosses don't care about them. The pandemic was an eye-opener for people, & add to that the forced return to commuting, the stingy vacation & pregnancy leave in this country & the lack of pensions & other benefits.

Heard a really great bit on "Alberta at Noon" today, on how technology is carefully engineered to keep your eyes on it for as long as possible.

It is the reason I'm OK with the fact that I'll likely never have as much constant engagement here as I did on that other site, and I'm good with that. Social media has entire teams of developers whose only job is to enrage you enough to stay on their site, and argue with people.

Enough.
