OMG you poor buggers.. I'm in Australia and admitidly in a job that has very good worker relations but legally it's a minimum of 20 days per year. I've rarely had less that 4 weeks off per year (mostly in one of two blocks) and as we can bank our leave, it is possible to take a batch of 6 or 8 weeks if you plan ahead.
How is it possible that you don't all end up in the mad house with work absolutely dominating your entire lives?

Only people with good jobs get medical and mental health care, so the rest just die off! But less sarcastically, it's a huge problem in the US. Many people do in fact die or have serious issues from burn out.
- Infinitesimus 6y agoAnother factor here is consumption. Even at salaries far below Netflix-tier offers, many people depend on consumption to stay sane. Media, food, buying unnecessary items, seeking the next sale, etc.
