Our European counterparts are laughing at us, who don't take a month off every year. And for some reason, this is how I see them doing so.

    Eh. In practice, we're fairly abused as well. I may have more holidays than my US counterparts, but in reality I can only take vacation when the schedule of the company allows it, which is never more than a week at a time at best and like three days in a row realistically.

    That seems to be highly dependent on location...we also have to coordinate with the needs of the company where i live, however we are still entitled to minimum 3 weeks vacation during summer (june-august) and at least two of them back to back regardless of the needs of the company.

    If I were to put in two weeks back to back, there's nothing they could legally do to stop me, true. But since we don't even have a union at my job, retaliation is guaranteed. Considering it took me the better part of five years to get the job in the first place, the result is that you unfortunately don't bite the hand that feeds you.

    Sounds like a crazy toxic workplace TBH, I have never worked somewhere where 3 weeks coherent summer vacation wasn't the norm in the entire company, with the remaining 3 weeks at your disposal for the rest of the year. We're generally not unionised in my profession where i live either, at least not in the private sector.

    In my country you get almost 1 month of vacation time with extra days depending on work (I work Saturdays too so I get extra 4 days because of it) of which it's actually mandatory that you take 2 weeks in one go so you really unplug yourself from work. The rest is as you please.
