> Peak American take.
I'm not American. I'm not even Western. Infact I'm pretty far away from USA.
> Don't you have an 80h+ workweek to go back to?
40.
> And then maybe you can take 3 days off a year.
1 month. Which is probably less than what Europeans get, but I'm happy.
I live in a place where everyday can be surprising. It's a bit chaotic (thankfully no wars or anything), but I've learnt to enjoy it :)

- mardifoufs 4y agoThis is just trash honestly. Getting offended by what you perceived to be criticism by "the american boogeyman out to put down glorious europe" is not a reason for this mildly racist reply
- dspearson 4y agoEuropean Union legislation mandates that all 27 member states must by law grant all employees a minimum of 4 weeks of paid vacation. (but yes, in practice, many offer more. one of the benefits of the EU, and of welfare states, is that there is a floor through which nobody should fall. the EU Working Time Directive is another thing for which I am grateful.)
- the-smug-one 4y agoSorry for the rude people on here :-).
- mardifoufs 4y agoWoah, the reaction you are getting is a bit insane. Some people cannot take any criticism of europe, even if your comment wasn't even actually critical at all. It's ironically starting to remind me of the super defensive americanism that was common a decade ago.
