66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August - Lemmy.world

In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit. Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.

As a European, I just want to know where Americans get all these fairy tales about European life, lol. Do you think the people in France that they keep admiring so much are protesting because of nothing?

Stop pretending Europe is some kind of paradise. It isn’t. I don’t get the whole month of August off on paid vacation. That’s a straight-faced lie.

Europe isn’t a paradise but everything else looks like one if you’re currently in Hell.
