That's a super awesome vacation policy you are enjoying. Basically like they have in Europe.

It took me 16 years to get that much vacation, and they just took away pay for my holidays now. Store will be closed but they won't be paying us.

I don't disagree that US policy is shit.

Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August.

It's a shit article with rage bait that skips any actual attempt in analysis, to which OC makes an equally useless comment JUST NOT UNDERSTANDING and questioning what the fuck is wrong with those respondents. When in reality the article wasn't read, the questions on the survey were never read, and they are just looking for that good old reddit amirite? I then answered with a simple, common answer to why a third of respondents might think a policy like 'a month off in August' might be dumb and here we are.
