Productivity and profits have steadily risen for decades while wages have hours worked have increased.
So business obviously were able to survive and thrive with more employees taking a larger slice of the profits. The businesses would be able to operate just fine.
Almost everyone has vacation in the summer (winter is cold and shit) so most office work slows down heavily during a few weeks and then picks up again during and after August…
Retail and stuff like that is obviously different.
Here we get 25 days (5 work weeks) each year by law. Some get more; I don’t know the average amount of days.
Apparently you get 28 days if you don’t get overtime compensation.
In general 4 consecutive weeks are used during the summer months.
You also get paid more during vacation, for some reason.
All other EU countries have a minimum of 20 paid days.

Have you heard about shifts? I hear they’re all the rage in production.

The meme is clearly exaggerating for comedic effect. Standard is 4 to 6 weeks PTO across Europe.
Exactly. And the exaggeration is the same for the American part, I’m sure that even an American would take a whole half day off for kidney surgery.
