    Walberg said he used to offer paid time off to eligible workers. The average worker earned about 48 hours of paid time off, capped at 72 hours a year, he said.

    Jesus fucking Christ. Shit like that has been illegal for a century where I live

      America is a dystopia unlike any other, where we smile and fuck each other over and then say “hey this is just the way it is!”

      I hate it here.

        48 hrs / 8 hrs/day = 6 days Americans get what their employees give them, in this case he is saying it is going to be zero.

        I myself get ~~8.3 hrs / pay period (2x month) so around 24 days per year. That is considered high. Would be even better if I could really use them without feeling guilty.

        A lot of Americans get 3-4 weeks. Few get more, some get less. Vacation isn’t a guaranteed benefit many places.
