While I'm totally sympathetic to the viewpoint that punctuality is efficient?
Europe gets almost an order of magnitude more vacation days, sick days, and holidays than the US does, and Mediterranean Europe gets a midday break on top of that.
- jamie_ca 11y ago"almost an order of magnitude" is exaggerating a little. http://www.vpcalendar.net/average-vacation-days-by-country.html http://www.vpcalendar.net/average-vacation-days-by-country.h... pegs it at just over 3x at the extreme. (That said, I'm Canadian - never knew the gulf in "average" vacation time was so stark.)
