As part of its austerity drive the Greek government has scrapped six days of annual leave awarded to civil servants since 1989 for using computers. According to Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsoakis this perk belonged to another era.

Excuse me? When did such a perk realistically belong to any era? It's hardly any wonder that the Greek economy is in dire straits when such frivolities are only now being addressed.

Still, at least they've already scrapped a bonus for turning up to work! Sheesh! (SMH)
