that was bought out by a German company and they opened a satellite office in Germany so some of our people went over there to work for awhile. The ones working in Germany made more money, had an amazingly beautiful airy bright office with lots of windows where we were crammed into teeny industrial type cubicles; the company cut our vacations back to 2 weeks a year which is the minimum mandated by the labour code increased our work week with no extra pay, and the German satellite started with 6 weeks vacation which is their minimum and had a shorter work week.

It makes you think.
