Reddit x-poster66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
ThenThreeMoreYou know it’s just a bit of an internet joke that we take the whole of August off, right? Just because we’ve got enough vacation days to do that if we wanted doesn’t mean that anyone actually uses them all up in one go at the most expensive time of the year for hotels, flights etc.
Sure, but to someone who has 4 unpaid days off a year that distinction doesn’t matter ya layabouts ;)
All joking aside, I don’t understand how you could live like that? I’m finding it hard this year because I’m getting married in November and taking 3 weeks. That has meant that I’ve had to really eek out my other 3 weeks throughout the year.
How i live like that currently is very different than i used to pre-covid. Post? I take unpaid days off whenever i can afford it and feel like it. I don’t fucking care anymore.
Damn, I’m sorry dude that taking days off has to be a financial decision. Good on you looking after yourself though.
Simple answer is we don’t really live. We just kinda suffer day after day until someone breaks them a new policy is out in place to legally cover the corps ass. It’s a miserable system and most of us are at a breaking point.
