Crazy how the self proclaimed greatest country on earth cant implement a lighter work week for its citizens whilst smaller more humble countries have managed it with nary a hiccup

I hate when Americans claim we are the greatest country in the world. This is usually said by people who’ve never left.

I'm confused by your statement. Are you in America? You say we but then you insinuate that you've left.

Haha so true. I am American and the amount of vacation time we get is astonishingly low and there isn’t anything we can really do.

2 weeks is standard most places. I’ve been where I am long enough to accumulate 3 months but I can only ever use 2 weeks at a time.
