Rumors from the grapevine at work:
"HR is watching for who's around and who is going on vacation, to determine who's most valuable to the company."
Context: A large portion of the Canadian business is being sold off and layoffs will start happening in the second half of 2014.
I just can't stand that corporate culture in some companies of people being judged by how much of their alloted vacation time they use. It's horse****.
