...stateside standard for private-sector salaried positions is ten working days per year (combined illness/vacation) which begin accruing after a six-month probationary period; some employers increase that to fifteen or twenty days for long-tenured staff after several / many years of continuous employment, but it varies...

...for hourly positions, you're paid only for actual hours worked...

...government positions tend to be much more generous with holidays, vacation, and sick leave, although compensation is typically lower than the private sector; large corporations often fall somewhere between those two extremes...

...scotchbrite pads generally won't scuff aluminum cookware, but stainless steel mesh works well on steel, iron, and glass; in either case, sanitary-sponge rules apply...

don't.
use.
sponges.

...the f*ck is wrong with you people?!.if you must use a sponge: thoroughly wash, rinse, wring, and set it out somewhere well-ventilated to air-dry quickly and completely after each use...

...seriously, do wash your f*cking hair by dunking your head in a soiled toilet and flushing it a couple of times?..you eat off your dishes, man, practice some sanitary scullery!..
