It’s a sad reality for many of us. Sure it’s a three-day weekend, but there’s almost no way we’ll actually simply take three days away from work. Despite all we know about how unhealthy and unproductive working all of these hours really is, the American workplace still places a value on it.
I’ve linked to the information before:
