Context: I'm in my first office job. Previously I have worked in restaurants, nannying, and the odd whatever while in uni. Obviously I never had paid time off, but I would take plenty of unpaid time off if my budget afforded it. My position now is in a non-profit that holds a contract with a level of government. We get three weeks of paid time off, I've already taken one this year. My partner really wants to go on a month long road trip, which I obviously want to go on too.

Lastly, tossing the word privilege around in this context isn't helping the movement anymore than telling the union organizers they're 'privileged' for calling for unionization at a workplace.
