In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.
Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.

There’s an official EU article here that states that “staff has the right to at least 4 weeks of paid holidays per year” in all 27 member countries. Are you not from one of those countries or are you being messed around by your employer?
Either way, when you compare it to America where people get a measly 11 days paid time off average, there is a hell of a lot to say about the European way of life.

That sounds like it includes holidays too, it’s not just vacation days you can take whenever you want.
But agreed, it’s still better than 11 days, but it’s not “anyone can just leave for a month and half”.
