    Pro Tip: corporations won't just give you this, you sort of have to riot until you force the government make it illegal for them to not do it. And even then you'll probably have to re-defend it every few years.

    You 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.

      I mean... It's not that weird some factories close during august nearly completely and everyone gets the holidays during that month for example.

      my experience is the opposite. I take the shortest vacations of the people I know who usually take 4 weeks off and then just do unpaid later if they need more time. Definitely could be a difference of PMC vs the prolest of proles. I spread it out but i get looked at weird

    YES! Oh my God it is a tragedy that vacations are proudly seen as a thing of the past here.

    Imagine living in, say, California and taking a week off just to go surfing or explore some of the national parks or smaller towns. Hell, imagine a country that doesn't try to gatekeep its youth from walkable cities that make it possible to make and have friends to share those vacations with. I'm sorry but, the people in charge are complete misanthropes that want to force their miserable loneliness on others.

    I've said it before and I will say it again, the US is the anti-fun country and it's the fault of the puritan WASPs who have no taste in anything.
