If we’re lucky enough to get vacation days, many of us are encouraged to only take 2 adjacent days to the weekend off. Month long vacations like Europe? Never. 4 days off in a row, normal.
Comment on Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace

Damn you people in the default country are insane.
I only know the world where everyone takes paid sick days. And usually it’s more like a week.
Maybe you should rename the community into “Work Reform USA”?

So, should you do a work reform, should you figure out why even your more left leaning party when in power does jack shit about it, and whether it’s really a democracy problem, or a national culture problem, and if maybe your solution is to move to a different democracy where the majority is aligned more with your core beliefs.
Or maybe I should daily start posting about working conditions in lithium mines in Africa and call for a work reform? Ah, that won’t get upvotes.

“Default Country” is my new favorite way to describe the US.

It definitely applies to reddit/lemmy. But also often to YouTube content etc.
Amazon is a shitty employer in the EU too, but nowhere near the US level of insanity, and there are plenty of other equally-paid options. In a certain country I usually had the local national postal service guy delivering me my packages. He looked very relaxed.
