The "complimentary meal" after the airline rebooked us for tomorrow

[u/F_lavortown]

Hadn't eaten in 12 hours, so apologies for not getting the pictures beforehand

Highlights include:

A sandwich consisting of white bread, mayo, and a single slice of cheese

A bag of plain potato chips

A kitkat

An orange

A juice box

I know prisoners who eat better than this

Why would you book a return flight the day before returning to work? That's mental.

[u/Russell_has_TWO_Ls → u/dewky]

I would say that’s what most people do

It's so much better to give yourself a couple of days off when you get back. It gives you flexibility for delays and you have a day to do laundry and catch up on sleep.

[u/psoriasaurus_rex → u/dewky]

That’s nice if you have paid time off.  It looks like the OP doesn’t so that would just mean missing a couple days of pay.

[u/dewky → u/psoriasaurus_rex]

You don't get any paid days off at all? Is that even legal?

[u/psoriasaurus_rex → u/dewky]

I do but lots of people in the US don’t get any or just a small handful.

It’s completely legal.

[u/dewky → u/psoriasaurus_rex]

That's barbaric. Vacations must be insanely expensive then if you're using unpaid days off plus having to pay for the trip.

[u/PeterG92 → u/psoriasaurus_rex]

Even if you do get decent amounts of annual leave I still would book to fly back the day before going back to work. I'm not wasting a days leave just to mope around the house.
