Do you have any proof? I don't trust HN comments to talk about other countries vacation days, since I see too many people here say Americans get no vacation days, yet every company I've worked at in the USA offered 15-20 days.
- red-iron-pine 3y ago15-20 days that usually included sick days, and with high levels of pressure NOT to take any of them. plus this is HN, so "every company I've ever worked for" is almost certainly a white collar STEM gig -- which ain't 90% of the country.
- signatoremo 3y agoNo it doesn’t include sick days. Not usually, not in the last 20 years. Where did you get that idea from? High pressure not to take it? I doubt you can say that with any level of confidence.
- weberer 3y ago>that usually included sick days, and with high levels of pressure NOT to take any of them These are both also untrue based on my experience.
- fknorangesite 3y ago> yet every company I've worked at in the USA offered 15-20 days. Then you've been very fortunate. This is not representative of many people - ask anyone working in a restaurant or retail how much paid vacation they get. Unlike many countries, in the USA the legal minimum is zero.
- reverendjames 3y agoYour situation in USA has nothing to do with Japan. Thus guy is correct. Most Japanese with a salaried job can't take a long holiday overseas.
