Much has made made ? derisively, I might add ? of the six extra days a year holiday bonus Greek workers receive if they use a computer. Where's the compassion?
True, workers who have to sort through the traditional filing system of piles of papers stacked in corners, in shopping carts, boxes and stuffed in cabinets probably deserve 12 extra days vacation a year just for heavy lifting.
I was agog to read the thinly-veiled sarcasm rising to ridicule in stories that mocked the perks Greek civil servants receive. You think it's easy being the only real worker pounding away at a computer in an office of deadbeats asleep at their desks or smoking, drinking coffee and refusing to answer the phone unless they get a pick-up-the-phone bonus?
