Man, a lot of you Americans need to unionize. None of this happens at my work and it's precisely because we're unionized and have a contract that specifically says that our employer is bound by strict rules. Granted, we don't get a month paid vacation, but we can't be denied time off, can't be compelled to be on call, can't be forced to work overtime and we have PTO accounts, healthcare and a pension that get paid into on a weekly basis.

The meme seems to imply that Europeans all get 3+ MONTHS off a year. How do businesses operate if they're always missing a quarter of their staff?

You hire more people.

Sounds like one of those bullshit jobs. The further you get from actually making something the less valuable skilled workers are to production.

America bad! Europe good! I was really hoping we left this tired joke on Reddit.
