I am not allowed to take personal days and if I feel that I need to be in a job where I can take personal days, then I need to find another job.
WTF? He needs to pull his cold, black heart out of his ass. Fuck him.
"My girlfriend has worked for 2 1/2 years and not taken a single sick or personal day."
You're not his girlfriend. Thank the sweet baby Jesus.
"I work 11+ hours a day and can't take personal days."
Jackhole. He owns the business. That's the plan he signed up for. You're an employee. You didn't. Why give you personal/sick days if you can't use them?
Empress, you are going to tell that pompous greedy dingleberry of a boss that if you can't have personal days, he can't have Saturdays or Sundays. No exceptions. Slavery was fucking outlawed more than a hundred years ago.
Find a new job. ASAP.
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. May his eensy weensy little dick be crushed by the falling bucket of a front loader, and may the city fine him hundreds of thousands of dollars and brand him a slumlord. I hope his real estate speculation comes back to bite him hard on his flabby, pasty white ass. All of this will only happen once you've found a new job, of course.
Aimee - I think you're best revenge will be the new, excellent job that I'm sure you will find. Everyone is allowed to take personal days. There are laws.

Because it really needed to be repeated.

I don't think he's saying she can't take personal days. I think he's saying that if you don't love your work so much you never ever ever want to leave or take a break, then UR DOING IT WRONG.
What Maria said. Aimee, good luck finding another job fast.
I think he was pretty explicit about not being allowed sick day. Which is BULLSHIT!
And I didn't think I could love Maria more than I did before, but it appears I was mistaken.
Of course I got the "My girlfriend has worked for 2 1/2 years and not taken a single sick or personal day."
And he's dating, what?, a 19 year old? She's only worked for 2 1/2 years??!!
An ex-boss of mine said that if anyone who didn't consider our (very difficult, demanding, underappreciated, and sometimes dangers) jobs "pie in the sky" (mixing his metaphors, but I think we know what he meant) ought to hit the road! Uh, yeah. Rrright.
Not to mention when they were translated.
I think this guy is not working from translations. But it's a fair point in general. Like I need one more viewpoint to try to hold in my head.
then I need to find another job
Yeah, you'd figured that out already. And what Cashmere (and everyone else) said - employees don't make the same sacrifices owners do because they don't get the same rewards, either.
Yay, successful mental picture transfer, Hil! Go, you!
I am not allowed to take personal days and if I feel that I need to be in a job where I can take personal days, then I need to find another job.
"I love you and your work...I just wish you were a robot!"
Well, she's not Kapitan Fucktard, and you know what? I want my wife to be happy and sane. You? A miserable, insane cranial-ass-spelunker. Antithetical to HappySane!Wife. Therefore, you get no cookie. You get pain and misery and, maybe, after you've begged for it enough, the sweet release of death.
Fuck you, fuck your girlfriend, fuck your drone-like workaholic tendencies and fuck your ass-backward dumbass business practices. After you've run your shitbag slumlord scamorama into the dirt, maybe you can share space on the FuckCake Hall of Shame Wall with George W. Bush. I hear his daddy gave him a "boost", too.
