The average American is lucky to get 11 vacation days from their employer each year.

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.

    if one employee being away would cause a company to fall apart, us Dutch would conclude management is completely incompetent, and tell them that

    Here in the US, some people say they can’t take time off like they’re proud of it somehow. Maybe it’s just Stockholm syndrome.

      I took a week off and saw emails upon my return that they almost called me about a security issue, but implemented alternative mitigations.

      Jokes on them, I would not have answered. It’s not my fault that I’m a single point of failure in the org. I don’t roll over and take that shit.
