In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.
Some 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 have, what most in the U.S. would consider, a very generous PTO allotment (accrues at 19.5 hrs per month) and I could not even fathom asking for an entire month off at a time. Who are these 34%?? Crap wait, I think I just realized. 🤦

Lol, business literally won’t fail if someone being gone. And anyway, you could literally phone in or do a teams meeting for that one super critical meeting if you took a month off.

The company, shareholders, customers can all suck a dick.
No one will die if their feature gets delayed a few weeks.
If the business does fail from employees being gone, the business has solvable problems in succession planning and organization.
I have “unlimited” PTO, but that just means I have as much PTO as my manager thinks I deserve :/
