Should be 4 day work week and 6 weeks vacation. There is absolutely no need to work this much. So many bullshit jobs, just to keep people employed and busy all their lives.
Not just employed but underemployed. Forty hours a week for not-40 hours worth of money. We call it a grind because it’s designed to wear us down to bare subsistence.
You’re right, I forgot that after the 28days there’s another weekend. But as someone who did a lot of union work in Germany I can assure you that a lot of companies do not give more than the mandatory 20d for a 5d-week.
Sure, that gets you the time off, but this guy flew to Paris and hung out for that entire time and found his “creative spark”. We also need like 50% higher wages so we’re not sitting in a Parisian cafe thinking “oh fuck this vacation is going to bankrupt me” or stuck at home unable to afford the flight to begin with.
Seriously… I literally just opened up lemmy after checking my vacation balance to see this lol Took 5 years to get 10 days vacation at my current job and I’ve used them all already… boooo
They hold the ladder for the former thinking they’ll bring them up too. When the ladder gets pulled up without them they look for a new ladder to hold.
There was very successful vilification of unions from my understanding as well. I find the discussion about unions with Americans really interesting as from my Finnish perspective they are the cornerstone of workers’ rights.
Well something like 10 percent of us are still unionized. I’m technically in management, but I’m still a union member and I 100 percent support my union brothers and sisters over ownership. That said, having a unionized workforce is actually good for my company’s owners because it allows them to bid on highly lucrative projects that aren’t really viable for non-signatory contractors for technical reasons having to do with safety and insurance.
30 day vacations for all.

Laughs in german labor laws.
We only have 6 weeks in Denmark!
Technically four weeks aren’t 30 days.
With 20 workdays off you can go in vacation for a month. At most companies you have more than 20 days even.
Most companies in the US will not be okay with you walking off for a month in a row though.
Yeah of course, taking all your vacation days at once would be difficult anywhere in the world

I will never understand how American culture has considered that acceptable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_by_country
Mostly because American culture is “I got mine, fuck you.”
A culture brainwashed to glorify “rugged individualism” is a culture of self centered inconsiderate assholes.
Don’t forget “I’m going to get mine and fuck you”
