66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
The average American is lucky to get 11 vacation days from their employer each year.
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 :/
What is wrong with taking an entire month?
I'm off for 6 weeks at the moment and it's amazing. I don't even remember how to do my job anymore
