If I'm footin' the bill, I don't want this perk for state employees. We elected the Governor to act on our behalf, and he has.




There's lots of proof of abuse, and bear in mind that some of it is completely legal. Christie worked to remove the legal part.

Even IF an employee came to work every day and didn't take vacation or sick time (super human state employees?) I would hate to think that the state was stressing people out like that. You're given vacation days to take a break from a stressful job. Sick days are for when you're sick. They're not to be banked and cashed out as a a golden parachute.
Private sector jobs were not always like that. The shift towards rightwing policies over the last 3 decades made so.
As for proof of abuse, if it was legal at the time, was it them abuse or simply taking advantage of the system in place, much like what businesses do today to squeeze as much profit as possible from each employee, whether it is morally correct or not?
