I think there’s a lot of good old moralization going on out there. «Young people are getting lazy» etc. Especially from old rich people who got everything handed to them.
I don’t want my company telling me when to spend my PTO?
Even if it actually worked that way, in what shithole reality is barely having any PTO at all preferable to having a shitload of it that you can only use at select times?
They don’t tell you that here in Europe? You’re free to spend your PTO when and where you wish, usually under the condition you at least take the legal minimum days per year. Companies get fined if they don’t meet those limits.
There are usually restrictions about what requests employers can deny. Of course you can imagine some situations in which you can’t have everyone leave when they wish (healthcare/police for instance). Of course there are shitty employers that try to abuse the exceptions and get away with it.
At my former (Dutch) employer I had to take the legal minimum 20 days each year, but the 5 extra days I could save and spend in the next 5 years.
What the fuck is wrong with 34% of Americans?
They’re probably mostly rich or retired, so they can take as much vacation as they want anyway.

There’s got to be a big chunk of that percentage that want MORE vacation time that Europe.
At least based on my sample size of 1.
They’re probably employers.

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.

Replace like with “such as” or “for example”. Does it sound more sensible now?

Very cool. Everybody should get that.
It’s not like you have to take August off in most countries either. You can do it whenever it suits you.
