@RochelleWinsLife also #France has mandatory #Healthcare, #PaidVacation, paid #ParentalLeave and actual #SocialSecurity as well as a living #MinimumWage yet neither are the margins worse for McD nor do they not make a shitload of money...

@Susan60 @breadandcircuses
Even if every worker in the US got 3 months of #PaidVacation, 1/3 of us would spend it on the couch watching #ConservativeMedia.

@threetails Espechally since a lot of "benefits" and "perks" are mandatory in #Germany and the rest of the #EU - unlike the #USA.

Things like #AffordabelHealthcare that isn't tied to an employer, #PaidSickLeave, #PaidParentalLeave and madatory #PaidHolidays and #PaidVacation Leave...

I just think a lot of people in the USA have been accustomed to a toxic work culture...

@juddlegum WTF?

Whereas in #Germany, #overtime has to be #paid out with bonuses or compensated with additional #PaidVacation...

And it's not limited to #WhiteCollar either.

In fact, legal maximums are 10hr shifts with a minimum of 11hr between shifts [clock-out / clock-in] with only very few exceptions [i.e. standby & emergency services, but those run 24h / 24h systems]...
