i had a funny conversation with my co-workers about my experience with vacation time off and vacation expectations here in the USA.
i won’t go into details here but they left in a much better mood about their anticipated 25-day paid holiday coming up in the summer.
that’s 25 paid BUSINESS days taken in succession. and they’ve been with the company as salarieds for about 6 and 4 weeks respectively.
they told me they don’t want any more americans coming over and mucking about with their bosses’ ideas of vacation expectations.
i don’t blame them at all. I don’t want any more americans coming over and mucking about with their idea of a balanced home/work environment.
