Would you work at a job that never gave holiday pay or bonus?

They laugh about it every year that I work for who I work for and get NOTHING and he is a laborer and gets ten grand.

The welder's employer knows he makes money for his company and values his skill. A good welder is much, much more than just a "laborer".

Good luck trying to convince the average American that. Most people just don't get it.

Seems I do now after 7 years. Looking elsewhere.

If the money is good enough I will kiss off Holiday pay. Haven't had a bonus in years.

Sadly this is the opinion of many American drones, causing corporations to collectively walk all over the American workforce, offering virtually no incentives, stripping away rights and dehumanizing their workers. It's sad really.

There are plenty of great jobs out there that don't pay bonuses or holiday pay. There are also great jobs out there that don't even offer health insurance or vacation pay.

If the pay structure itself is great, that makes up for a lot of other stuff. You have to look at the total picture, and not get distracted by smaller details.
