Somehow, I doubt this came from any intelligence agency.

While the US does not mandate corporations to give paid days off, most corporations give two weeks of vacation and two weeks of sick time or they combine them into benefit days (which is where I stand currently). This does not include holidays (usually 10 days). The need to compete for good workers forces them to do so. Getting 21 days of benefit time to use as I wish played a key role in my deciding to come work for this company.

What...those who watch CNN or MSNBC?
