He said he gets one week vacation time a year once he's worked for the company for a year.

This is absolutely shocking. Why don't USAmericans push back on this?

It was worse, I spent my 20's working with no health insurance, no vacation, and no retirement plan. America only works for the top 30% or so.

I put in my time and now average 21+ days of PTO a year... It was a slog to get there (I'm still broke though).

We've been brainwashed to think anything more makes us lazy. Europeans just lack work ethic and are thus lesser people.

They seem to think it's "lazy"

@previous (F)
No mate but you got to have some time off. I get 33 days off a year, 8 bank holidays and 25 days to pick from. You got to get away to just feel normal.
