Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America.

Yeah Americans have way too many holidays, like two hole weeks per year!
I mean, compare that to the Europeans with their lousy 5 weeks per year, they never take off!

Europeans don’t have 5 weeks of holidays. It of course depends on the country, region, and sometimes city, but usually is between 8 and 11 days of holidays (that everyone gets on the same day, like new years or the respective independence day) and between 4 and 6 weeks of PTO, which every person chooses when to take.
Plus no sick days, if you are sick you stay at home, no quota. Optionally some paperwork if the sickness lasts a bunch of time.

Fair enough, I don’t know the vacation days in all European countries, but many definitely do
