I knew an engineer who started with a big company in 1977. One reason she went 
with them is after 5 years she'd get 3 weeks paid vacation every year. Comes 
December 1982, with 10% unemployment, and instead of giving her the promised 
3 weeks, they cut her back to 1. The unemployment rate was 10% -- she had to 
grovel and take it.
