Europeans: out of office until October. 🚬🍺

Jokes aside tho, it's mandatory at my job to take a vacation for at least two weeks at least once a year, and managers can get in trouble if someone doesn't take a vacation in a long time.

    In America, we have to request dying. Unless you have approval from your management, you're not allowed to die. We must appease the shareholders at any cost. We live for the capitalists!!! Hurrah! Greatest nation on earth

    I may get 4 to 5 weeks off for the year, but it is absolutely taboo to try and take 2 of those at the same time. The amount of guilt you get even requesting it is all you need to know about our current state. The only exceptions i have had fot this was when i got married and had each kid. Besides that i have not had more than 1 week off at one time since i was 15 and im in my 40s now.

    Here in the Netherlands you have the right to take at least one 2 week vacation a year.

    I'm in the US and I only have to take 5 consecutive business days off once a year (not clear if it's just a security thing or a law for the industry I work in), but my workplace absolutely has people take more than a week at a time. Sounds like you work in a rough industry, sorry.
