I work for a company at Guro Digital complex. It is a great place to work. I work with engineers...many, many engineers. It's a research center of sorts. I have full benefits including bonuses 2x per year, I get to fly business class with my bosses. I get free lunch and dinner in the cafeteria - My job rocks. Nananana Razz

Shite! I get promised vacation, but have still to recieve. 7 years , 3 days vacation, I'm burnt. Silly me.
Maybe that's why I'm posting in an uncouth fashion on occassions.
Never mind, I vow to take a one month holiday at the end of this year.
Still a hogwon jockey, but this is the last year.

Bear in mind that the people who usually spend the most time on the JDF are public school and uni teachers with lots of time on their hands during the day. Furthermore, Dave's has more long-termers than one typically finds in real-life. If you conducted this poll in an ex-pat bar at 12.30am the results would probably be a lot different.
