Every day there’s a new article trying to shame workers for existing.

    I like our European rules, when we are guaranteed PTO by law and employers would often force you to take it when you accumulated too much unused off days. The system cares even for those who would not care for themselves.

      Last year I was forced to take 2 weeks PTO just before Christmas so my company wouldn’t get slapped with fines. Unexpected, but welcome. I just hadn’t checked how many days were left unused.

      I like our European rules as well.

      I was made to take all of December off last year because I hadn’t taken enough days. It’s a weird feeling when your manager tells you that you have to stop working or they’ll fire you.

      That’s helpful, making sure the person takes it even if they’re too nice and would give it up for the company. Some people can’t negotiate well and this would be helpful for them.

      Yea I’m about to immigrate to Germany, going through the contract with HR and all the clauses around leave and overtime were astounding. I thought I had it good in ANZ, but this is fantastic.
