The pto thing is because most office/tech jobs let you take unpaid time off too. Just means you won’t make your full salary for the year based on the number of unpaid days you take.
Yeah it’s pretty shit. Since some places they only offer 1 or 2 weeks vacation a year if you want a longer one you end up needing to take the unpaid time off.
it’s not just europe, I live in Latin America we have 3+ weeks of payed time off, the us job market is the weirdo
That’s why they are the best country in the world and us lazy people are third world shitholes /s
I’ve always found the term Paid Time Off as a degenerative term. Like they are doing you some kind of favour.
It’s a holiday, please kill that PTO term.

The fact that’s also a thing blows my mind.
We don’t have that option here. Between the holidays and things like special leave, I’ve never been not paid for taking time off.
You can take a years unpaid career break which is kinda cool as your job is guaranteed when you return.

I don’t even know how anyone copes with that. I get 30 days plus public holidays.
The meme seems to imply that Europeans all get 3+ MONTHS off a year. How do businesses operate if they’re always missing a quarter of their staff?
You hire more people.
Sounds like one of those bullshit jobs. The further you get from actually making something the less valuable skilled workers are to production.
