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.
I don’t think capitalism would ever allow less than 365 days of work a year in many companies. People at the top only see one thing, and it’s money incase it wasn’t obvious. So less production and less money at face value are not something they would entertain.
The Communists of the USSR didn’t like vacation time, but accepted it as necessary for workers to reset and return to work refreshed.
They believed that once their systems were perfected vacation would become unnecessary and workers could work all year without breaks.
It’s pretty terrifying that there are still people in leadership positions who haven’t accepted these fundamental facts of work!
