i get 22 days off and thats only because my employer gives me 20 PTO days + 12 holidays, that could easily go back to 10 PTO days and fewer holidays at another employer. America is a shithole.

So many people I know are on day 3 of a 7 day work week (sat-fri) right now because of the october week

but yeah even factory workers get a couple of weeks for CNY, a few days for May day, couple of days for dragon boat and a few days for national day. school staff and service workers might have the worst holiday schedules I think.

may day, dragon boat and national day come with make up days though, so often it’s only 1-2 actual extra holidays for each

Its the sacrifice that some countries make to make the GDP skyrocket. Of the top countries, youd have to get to germany to be on the first country that offers reasonable PTO, as the 3 countries in front of it arent that great at it (U.S, China and Japan)

China offers so much time off, but at what cost? Their production suffers. They can’t sustain this. It isn’t efficient. Their workers aren’t motivated. No innovation. Venezuela.

lol it’s not even that much time off. Compared to France it’s honestly not that good. But compare retirement ages with France and China is much better. So of course neoliberal ghouls love to concern troll over China’s early retirement.

i get theoretical vacation time/PTO but we are so understaffed now i can’t really take it without it driving my crew to quit on me. “not OT allowed in the last quarter” so i have no idea how to schedule coverage for any of us to take vacations.

only reason my corp has decent vacation time is because it’s european owned so we get a little social democracy as a treat

There’s a reason I drill into upper management the phrase “If no one is slacking off you are over-capacity and it will fuck you over at some point” at every opportunity.

In Vietnam almost all workers are entitled to at least one week for Tết. But a lot are also given the entire month off to prepare. There was some news about the government demanding local unions to create workplace policies to allow migrant workers time off the holiday as well.

In the US you don’t even get mandatory time off for the country’s birthday. How pathetic.

To be fair, the US’ birthday celebrates slavery
