What if you told your boss
Dear Boss,
I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well, given me benefits beyond belief. I have 3-4 months off per year (not including holidays and vacation), a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and a health plan that most people can only dream about.
Despite this, I plan to take the next 12 to 24 months to find a new position.
During this time, I will show up for work when it is convenient. In addition, I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the other perks associated with my current job.
Oh yeah, if my search for this new job proves fruitless, I will be back with no loss in pay or status. Before you say anything, remember that you have no choice in the matter. I can and will do this.
Sincerely,
Every Senator or Congressman running for President.
What if you tried that at your job, tell me how it would work out.

Very well put. It is an unfortunate reality.
NEVER VOTE FOR INCUMBANTS

I would be picking myself up off the pavement after being booted out the door.

What is the difference… most of these politicians don’t work one hour a day most times and are getting paid for it when they are already loaded before they come into office… It is highway robbery…
These people aren’t public servants… They are extortionists… some are just more generous to the people who work for a living… That’s why I am voting against Obama… Certainly he is the worst kind of thug…

I need to go into politics. But if I had a boss, I wouldn’t have one for long.
22. September 2007 at 3:41 pm :
What job? I would not have one anymore.
Most believe a politician’s job is to serve the people.
But in the real world the number one job of a politician is to get re-elected.

My boss would kick my *** and then shove a pie in my face
26. September 2007 at 9:44 am :
Sounds like G. W. Bush’s presidency.

I am the boss and I guaranty I’d fill your position during your absence. Upon your return you would be screened for drugs, your financial affairs scrutinized and your overall performance reviewed. If you met my hiring standards I’d take you back with a reduction in pay. It’s how the real world works and well within my rights as an employer. My state is a “at will” state, meaning I don’t have to give you a reason for dismissal, so you’d be fortunate.
