Outside the US, in first world nations at least, it's expected that you get consecutive days off and you don't need to beg your boss for permission to leave town each week. I've never had to schedule a leave from town and don't know anybody who did, because it's plainly obvious that our weekends are our own.
Another problem is companies that intentionally book non-consecutive days off for their workers are also going to do everything they can to discourage workers from taking time off when they want to.
- slenk 5y agoI don't think it's right what employers do, but with at-will employment the norm in the US, your employer ends up holding a lot of power. I also assumed as a part-time worker I would be at the will of the employer even more; I myself have never done part-time work like that
