slaacaa@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Americans Are Using PTO to Sleep, Not for Vacation—Report36·4 days agoWatching from Europe, it’s astonishing.
We have adopted many parts of US business culture, luckily not this one.
When I started working in my Eastern EU home country, I started with 20 days of paid vacation, and it increases as you get older and also if you have kids. Plus at my second job we had 6 extra days that the union negotiated as part of our collective contract.
Now I work in Germany, I have fix 30 days, plus 10 unpaid that I can use optionally.
Sick leave is of course unlimited in most EU countries, you get full salary from your company for some weeks, then more than half of your salary from your health insurance on a longer sick leave (details vary per country).
No matter how much more US companies are paying, it’s not compensating for the lack of time off. “You can always earn an extra dollar/euro, but you cannot earn an extra minute”
I honestly wonder, how people can live like this - I’m of course talking about higher paid white collar workers, not those on poverty wages who wouldn’t have a choice in any country

Not that it matters, he changes opinions every week. With people like him, only the actions matter, it’s exhausting and unproductive to try to make sense of their ramblings

NATO member Turkey shot down a Russian jet some years ago, and the planet didn’t perish in a nuclear war, so we know we can do that.
slaacaa@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Jimmy Kimmel's show to return to air after suspension over Charlie Kirk comments, says DisneyEnglish1·9 days agoYeah, they probably use this opportunity to get a better deal from ABC, while pretending to be upset about Kimmel
slaacaa@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Jimmy Kimmel's show to return to air after suspension over Charlie Kirk comments, says DisneyEnglish3·9 days agoExactly. He is probably swimming in money already, and could easily get another well-paying job in the industry somewhere or start his own e.g. production company. But the people working for him need their jobs, and there are around 200-250 of them. So even if he could say fuck you to Disney, he has to consider his responsibility to his colleagues/employees.
