Then, you graduate, enter what they call “the real world” with “a real job” and you’re told exactly where to be and when. Exactly what days you will have off. How much you’re allowed to get sick. How the game of accruing time off works
It's pretty amazing to me that people tolerate the evolutionary step backward between college and the travails of an entry-level grunt in "the real world".
One really disgusting trend that's coming along is pooling sick days into vacation, which is of course never advertised when people take the job. So they think they're getting 3-4 weeks of vacation but they're actually getting less. I worked at a company that pulled that bullshit once, and because no one took sick days, the result was that everyone had a constant cold for 5 months out of the year.
