I work for a contractor and they really are stingy about anybody being in the break room when there is literally no work to be done.

So that exact same day I typed up my two weeks notice and turned it in so i would still get to enjoy my entire thanksgiving break. THEN they still put me on the schedule for thanksgiving.
