VACATION

A vacation is personal time off So that I can get away from And enjoy me, leaving the stress And the headaches behind Also, not being bothered with An over aggressive boss or An entitled one who things that Slavery still exists and who thinks That your personal time is also there’s Why are you hounding me With your text and calls while I’m on vacation and you feel like I supposed to answer you And also, how can a I be on call While I’m on my vacation and Not being paid that’s nonsense And aggravation, which is why You lose good workers in the end

Dear Daisy, I couldn't say it better if I tried. Personal time is personal time and yet, as you inked so well, there are those who want our personal time to be theirs. I loved this line: " While I’m on my vacation and Not being paid, that’s nonsense And aggravation, which is why You lose good workers in the end". Next week I am on vacation, and I want to enjoy. Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

IT'S A SHAME BUT IT HAPPENS WAY TO OFTEN.
