working from home is a literal godsend I literally spend half my working day researching alts like AKRO and DIA

Im a wagie unfortunately for a little longer, but they'd have to fire me to take days off. They cant because they would have to pay me out to fire me. So I hope they try it

As a britfag I find it unbelievable that you folks in burgerland don't get paid time off. Its fucking criminal. 30 days paid per year here isn about average for someone on a decent wage ...

most large companies and government jobs have that kids of timr off. Im a union wagie and I get 6-7 weeks every year vacation in burgerland. Small businesses have less capital and arent required to give paid vacation, only sick time.

Is that literally serious

>>21851603
We do, any legitimate full time position in the United States accrues time off.

Not sure why you listen and repost absolutely retarded shit.

>>21851243
Pretty sure that's a figurative godsend

They get paid way more to compensate. Median salary is quite often like $61k USD there

>>21851603
They get 10 days quite often but they have no law forcing businesses to. Whereas we get 5.6 weeks minimum including the 8/9 bank holidays

when i worked in tech in the NYC the average was around 15 days and that was of course completely up to the individual company. they could have given zero.

ya I work in FAANG and I've basically just been gambling on shitcoins and jerking off all day while getting paid a ton lol. racking up those vacation days so I can take a month straight off for travel when virus ends

>been working at home since March
>literally spend 70% of my time shitposting on /biz/, playing vidya, going to the beach etc
>used 0 vacation days
>mfw my remaining 21 vacation days will roll over into next year
>mfw work at home eventually ends after corona panic and I use my 42 paid vacation days in a row before quitting

It's more concerns about burnout, which is common especially in finance or tech.

this desu, I work for a US company but in the UK and my US colleagues have a completely warped sense of what a Holiday is, they'll take a friday off and go on a 16 hour drive to see their extended family for one night and call that a "great time". I couldn't think of a worse way to spend my long weekend.

>Using paid vacation days before quitting

Unequivocally based and I will always,I repeat always do this. I used all of my sick days at my last job too KEK

>>21853456
Very fucking based.
I work maybe 1-2 hours a day and spend the rest of the day learning new shit and studying for certifications so I can get a better job kek

I've been taking every Friday off so I can go to the beach

>>21851083
They can just take back unused PTO at the end of the year

I ended up just taking the lump sum. Those fuckers could never give me a straight answer on whether or not they could cover me for days I wanted off.

One part of the population refuses to work entirely, the other doesn't find any work to begin with and the workers refuse to take vacation. How do we fix this?

I would work if I didn't have to compete for a job. I think competing is gay. I just want to do the job and my hobbies.
