Those "occasional holidays" amount to nearly two weeks (10 business days) in the U.S. And the person you're responding to was saying that Swedes would have to get 30-something additional days off to make up for the earning discrepancy.
- fzeroracer 8y agoConsidering that there are many Americans in poverty that get little to no time off, Swedes would be around 30-something additional days off. How many days off per year do you think people in retail get? Not just time off they get on paper either, but time off they can take without being shamed. Hell, look at the 'unlimited pto' scam some software companies employ in order to reduce the amount of time off a developer can take. Have you ever worked retail? Or do you know anyone that has?
