To my American friends,
I (German) have just come to know that some of you work for years without holiday. Thats just f***ing craty to me . Dont you get any MADANDTORY time of work. We get at least 20 days of a year, that is if we work a 5 day week. My employer makes sure I take all the days I have available. I've worked in an Amazon fulfilment centre before, and even there you cant do more that 1.5 hour's overtime a day or you get straight up fired after the third offence.
Is this true? What is your idea of work life balance? How many days do you think you should work a month. What the hell are you using your hard earned money for if you are working all the time?
