    Fuck that; I’m American and I use my vacation time to go on vacation.

    I don’t care if it bankrupts me; if I don’t get out of town at least once or twice a year I will go insane. So what if I gotta eat ramen for the next three months after that, work/life balance is everything.

      I’m going to have 5 weeks every year starting in February and I have no idea what to do with it all. I definitely can’t afford to vacation.

        I spend a lot of my vacation visiting family and friends I wouldn’t get to see otherwise.

        Typically crashing with them and helping around the house so I’m not a burden, then camping or grilling or otherwise chilling.

        I spread mine out through out the year as 3 day weekends. I can’t afford to go anywhere, and will lose them if they’re not used up. It’s a rest/do shit at home/Dr appt day.

        Like 9 days and some odd hours. We have sick pay days but they dont kick in unless you are sick for 3 days straight because of a “waiting period”

      In France things are changing and now if you get sick during your paid holiday with a doctor note you can postpone your holidays.
