My previous job to this was at a alternative newspaper. No one was allowed time off on the following days: Fridays (bc we closed the book/paper) Mondays (bc we checked the book for errors) and Wednesdays (pub day) The 18 months I worked in that office I never took a day off or saw anyone else take a day off. There was a reason for high turnover at that office.

The job I am in now the previous boss I had was one of those who not only was good at being a boss, but she was fabulous at making sure everyone took their time. She wanted us all to be our best, and she felt like taking time off and getting us the most money for her employees in our dept were her two major goals. Seeing her in stark contrast with current boss is striking.
