I recall going to the UK after brexit, to a house party with family friends. I was hounded with how do you function with only a 2 week holiday. I then shared i had 4 weeks after 5 years. They were so confused that we could function with less than 6 weeks of vacation.
Burn out in the USA is a real thing. Our politicians will never vote for a mandatory vacation for anyone other than them selves
It's amazing how submissive American men are.
If you complain about it some Americans will just call you lazy. lol. Same thing with the cost of healthcare. They'll just tell you to get a better job or better healthcare. They never speak about the root cause of the problem.
