Good for you. More people need to speak up. Corporate America's productivity increases are a direct result of less people doing more work. My wife works for a large international corporation as a system administrator. They constantly "release" people and then assign those duties to her. She can be called at ant time (and they do). She puts in an average of 55-60 hour per week. When we went to Hawaii a couple of weeks ago her boss told her to take her phone and laptop. She finally worked up the courage to say no and her boss relented.
At least you have prepared yourself for a time without employment. Good luck and enjoy the time off.

And when the Obama Admin wants employers to start PAYING people on 'salary' who are working 60 hours per week, you'd think a 10 mile diameter ASTEROID was heading for Earth.
When I worked, SALARY people who really put in a lot of extra time were given 'comp' days. Just don't show up!
In California you have 3 categories of employ. Salary EXEMPT. Salary NONexempt. HOURLY.
I was Salary Nonexempt, got paid hourly and had a few other bennies. Nothing special and I could be fired easily since California is an 'at will' state.
One company in the Semiconductor industry was known for giving an employee a MONTH off with pay after 10 years employ. This in addition to regular vacation benefits.
Me? When I quit, I had about 500 hours in my vacation bank.
Too much is never enough
Get ready for the 10 mile diameter asstroied. It's call the Donald asstroied. Better duck. Tweaker
