America mantra. No work,no pay. It's that simple.
Vacation makes no profit for a business. It's a liability. Again,it's that simple.
I've stopped being around folks who brag about their benefits while I'm simply trying to benefit by having a job. Period. Every day is a question of..Is today the day they close up shop or go on a firing spree. Some of us just want a paycheck...Our sleeptime is our vacation.
One aspect that really bothers me is how stingy companies get in regards to vacation time. In Europe you can easily get 4 weeks or more of vacation. I for one would love to travel internationally and make decent money but vacation time sucks, and my biggest hurdle as seems to be the case for lots of Americans even for those that have really good jobs. I have heard how it's very common for Europeans to get several months off work and travel abroad.
Personally, I wish there were a law requiring companies to give every employee at least a month in vacation regardless of their job.
It's not that the US companies are stingy. It is because Socialist Europeans don't want to work

Pros and cons. We have the 9 largest companies in the world by market value so our favoring employers has resulted in our companies being stronger. In the long run, I think we have the better system even though I can understand the other viewpoint.
By the way, I work for an international engineering consulting company and I do get 9 weeks of holiday per year in addition to national holidays so you can get a good vacation package with the right companies. I should note, I do a lot of traveling and away from home far too much.
Why is the U.S so stingy when it comes to vacation time?
Because our corporate overlords want it that way. How dare you think you matter and deserve a life of leisure. You were born to work for them so they can enjoy vacations.
I want a smaller fed gov not a bigger one. Make this the law of the land and they feds will hire a new department of people to administer it. I get little value for most th emoney sent to DC now. I have no faith in them. I do not need more vacation I need less taxes.
