granted there is a largely lazy element to our country, but i would say the majority isnt as lazy as the rest of the world believes us to be.
I dont see taking vacations as being lazy...it just keeps the worker happy. A happy worker is a good worker :thinking: :dunno:. h:

that's not all of europe, btw. every country has different laws. but for the most part, european countries do have much more vacation time. i think the theory is that it'll relieve stress and increase moral, so productivity will be better. in theory... i could definitely use more vacation time

but a minimum of 4 weeks?

and making a law that requires no matter what you do you have to get that?

kinda silly to me seriously. vacations are one thing, but 4-6 weeks of paid time off? thats alot on a business. i agree it makes happy workers, but thats gotta have a big impact on business

not to mention all the "holidays" they have over there.

all im sayin is no european ever better say anything about lazy americans around meh:
