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....
I’m European and I have 1 month across all the year. I took 1 week during spring, 1 week in July, 1 week in August and I have another week for the rest of the year.
I couldn’t say “hey, I won’t show up during the whole month”.
It is! It was more convenient for me to have two different weeks during the summer. One of my co-workers is having 3 consecutive weeks this September (she’s getting married).

I used linux in the past, both privately and work-related, but the last time was over 10 years ago, so I’m a bit out of touch. I am in need of a new PC, but it’ll be a good year before I have the funds, so for now I am making due with an i5 7500 and a gtx 1660. I do have 32 GB so there’s that. I finally feel confident...
I couldn’t get RDR2 to play, but I’m also a noob. I have a drive with windows just for playin the games I can’t run in linux, and maybe I boot it once a month.
So far I’ve created an account at sh.itjust.works (first one), lemmy.world (main during most of my time here), lemmy.dbzer0.com (first attempt to migrate to another instance) and at lemm.ee, because I wasn’t happy with how lemmy.world admins run their instance (preemptively defederating Hexbear but not Meta).
66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August (www.cnbc.com)
