Replace like with “such as” or “for example”. Does it sound more sensible now?
Comment on 66% of Americans say they want extended European-style vacation policies at work
ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world 10 months agoSome 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.
I get 25 days + 13 federal. I don’t plan any of those in August.

👌
Yes, the author of the article and survey designer most definitely could have done a better job with language…
But they didn’t, yet here we are, this entire sub ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED that 34% of Americans could have had the audacity to answer no to the question.

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.

But not in the context of what OC was bitching about. I’m not sure which part of this is a stupid rage bait article is unclear to the general audience here.

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.

I don’t disagree that US policy is shit.
It’s a shit article with rage bait that skips any actual attempt in analysis, to which OC makes an equally useless comment JUST NOT UNDERSTANDING. When in reality the article wasn’t read, the questions on the survey were never read, and they are just looking for that good old reddit amirite? I then answered with a simple, common answer to why a third of respondents might think a policy like ‘a month off in August’ might be dumb.
