This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In Germany, vacation days expire as well (past a certain amount), but the employer is forced by law to force you to take your vacation days.

the employer is forced by law to force you to take your vacation days.

Only the minimum required by law though. For example, 30 vacation days are pretty standard in Germany but the required minimum for a 5 day work week are 20 days.

The employee must take those days off whether they want to or not. In extreme cases this could get them fired even.
