No major holidays

Murica!

Depending on what's considered major, I've had three so far this year.

That is so goddamn industry dependant, it almost hurts.

Right now is exactly when we want people taking time off. It's slow as fuck, we can mainly get by with smaller teams if we're caught up on production. Get the fuck off the clock for a week or two, that shit don't roll over, you're not getting it paid out, and you're definitely not getting time off once summer ends.

The reason q3 and q4 are slow is because people like you who suffered from severe cranio-rectal inversion a) don’t want to approve vacation and b) won’t let people accrue vacation so everyone suddenly is pressured to take long weekends (instead of a real vacation) towards the end of the year.

No unicorn is worth this…

The beach may be there, but the snow won’t be, and I care about the later more.

Well, I really enjoyed my two-week holiday at the start of Q2. Was nice to be at a popular location before all the big crowds come in. No complaints from my manager, only a sincere 'enjoy your time off!' So glad we don't have that toxic Anglo-Saxon work culture here.

I personally like taking one or two days off randomly, but yea people should still have the option to take weeks as well to... well.. have a life outside of work

Did anyone see the post on LinkedIn? Unwound be quite interested to see the comments to it, but I think she might have deleted it. Unpopular opinion indeed.
