To offer (maybe European) perspective.
The industrial revolution coincides more or less with when starvation started to disappear from the developed world.
In many countries, holidays and PTO are a norm. I personally know a few people that choose to work 4 days a week, I know another bunch that actually retired early or simply don't jump from a job to another because they can free ride for a bit (no judgment).
That also means that you 1/ have to actually prioritize leisure over money 2/ have actually something leisurely to do.

- deafpolygon 1y agoYes, to reflect the rising life expectancy.
- antisthenes 1y agoTo reflect a looming demographic crisis as well.
- keybored 1y ago“Europe” also has active unions.
- Ajedi32 1y agoGP's comment is also entirely true for the US. PTO and paid holidays are the norm here for full-time (salaried) work. It's not just a European thing.
