So why is it so wrong that millennials want to follow the practices that other companies have, that have been successful? In most European countries, they get a month of paid vacation. We'd be lucky to get 2 weeks.

In most third world countries you get no vacation at all. Poor countries work significantly more than rich countries and they do so because they have a low productivity hourly rate. First world countries can afford having government goodies and crony unions while poor countries cannot. The problem here is not that we need more goodies but more incentive for private (not government) corporations to hire more workers. Corporations will not hire people if they are forced to pay high wages, pensions and vacations. There is nothing as a free lunch. There are of course problems like outsourcing of jobs and immigration which hippie-libertarians advocating free trade and free immigration don’t get but when it comes to internal economics it is clear that we need less government. In the end there is someone who is going to pay for everything and it is the highly productive and I don’t mean Wall Street, which are basically a bunch of salesmen that sell junk-bonds to semi-government funded insurance companies and small-time investors. The highly productive are the entrepreneurs which sell stuff to the private market. People ought to protest Washington DC and the Federal Reserve and the fact that they are in a union with Wall Street and bankers not entrepreneurs which cannot afford paying free lunches to their workers.
