Comment Re:I don't use my vacation (Score 1) 464

You just expect people to walk out of a job and find another one the same day? Employers know how hard it is for people to find work now that they know their employees won't just leave like that. Also here in my state, employers aren't required to give ANY paid time leave at all if you're over 18. This means it's even harder to uproot you and your possible family and move to another state and hope to find a job.

This is what happens when corporate america has all the politicians in their pockets.

Pretty much my job. We have had people leave and move on and others laid off. We have never once hired people to replace them. The employer just expects everyone still here to pick up what the others did. If I take a vacation I'm 100% guaranteed to be contacted at some point about something while trying to relax. When I get back from vacation I spend so much time catching back up that I'm often working 10 hours a day for the first week.

Depends on the state. Here in Michigan for break times.

Michigan does not require employers to provide breaks, including lunch breaks, for workers eighteen (18) years old or older. An employer who chooses to provide a meal, lunch, or break period must complete relieve employees of their work duties for the break period to be unpaid.

When it comes to vacation leave

In Michigan, employers are not required to provide employees with vacation benefits, either paid or unpaid. If an employer chooses to provide such benefits, it must comply with the terms of its established policy or employment contract.

Same with sick leave:

Michigan law does not require employers to provide employees with sick leave benefits, either paid or unpaid. If an employer chooses to provide sick leave benefits, it must comply with the terms of its established policy or employment contract.

...that crappy App that Facebook pulled out of their existing App and which I refuse to install because I shouldn't need a separate app or still another chat client.

In other news, when did people become so lazy that everyone uses chat because clicking on an email app is just too big a hassle?

I'm pretty sure you can use the FB messenger app without having a FB account now. They want you to use it as a standard SMS and phone callinging app. This is why it's a standalone app.

For your tech savvy person sure this can be done. I use to do it all the time. However go to your normal user and say this to them. They won't know what the hell you're talking about. Most people can't do this.. Most people shouldn't do this because they will do something wrong and brick the device.

Anyone able to modify their hosts file most likely has better means to block the app from doing things such as using Xposed. Also the fact that host names can change all the time, it could be a never ending battle. Also what if they use direct IPs? Back to using Xposed for that one.
