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.

    in some sectors, like construction, they just all have to take summer holiday together. That’s usually like 2 consecutive weeks.

    Most sectors do not tho. Depending on the sector and the specific job, they just set an email autoreply: hi, i’m chilling by the pool rn, if it’s urgent ask colleague x who is a bit informed about what i normally do and they should be able to help you, (we’ll clean up the mess when i’m back)
