I'm glad to hear it's not an issue in your experience / industry.

German here: I have yet to witness these "European-style" vacations mentioned in the post title.

Most workplaces seem to frown at people taking >2 consecutive weeks of vacation, esp. if they don't have kids and do it in main travel season / during school holidays. Handing in ~3 weeks of holidays often at least needs some kind of explanation to the team-lead, e.g. "I have school kids who have their summer holidays and we need to keep them busy until school starts again."

I have yet to see a single company going easy on someone saying "I'll be off all of August KTHXBYE".

Is there a line from a movie that really resonated with you but when you say it most people don't get the reference? in c/[email protected]

"Because you'll be together".

Inception, Mal, with her head on railroad track

The Banshees Of Inisherin.

It was like finding razorblades if you are in a really razorblade-y kinda mood.

Shorter is not necessarily better: "THE Fall" from the early 2000s was a much better value-per-minute movie. :P

Poco X3 NFC with LineageOS.

200,-€ price, excellent photo quality if paired with fitting GCAM mod (AGC) plus config. Powerful enough as daily driver, privacy-frieendly enough after some simple changes, runs everything I need & if it drops & breaks (2 kids at home...) it's an affordable loss (I'm diligent about backups).
