That's a fun site.

Wouldn't open in IE, but worked well in Chrome.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-31-2019, 11:28 AM

Yes, Chrome does it ok.

Repeat after me, correlation is not causation.

Did they make DC gigantic so it would show up on the map?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-04-2019, 11:58 PM

Same reason DE takes up the whole dong.

Even without a statutory minimum, though, has anyone ever known an American with a full-time salaried job who didn't get any vacation from their employer?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-07-2019, 10:17 AM

There's a lot of people without full time salaried jobs. I've known full time hourly people who got unpaid vacation time. In this Gig Economy I keep reading about it would not happen. But even people who get time off are not taking all of it.

Google comes up with 1,480,000,000 answers to, "why are people not taking vacation time?"

Quote:

Fear of returning to a mountain of work (40%)
The belief that nobody else can do the job (35%)
Inability to afford taking time off (33%)
Fear of being seen as replaceable (22%)
To show greater dedication to the company and the job (28%)

Quote:

A remarkable 23 percent of Americans have no paid vacations and no paid holidays. 10 is the magic number. The average American worker receives 10 days of paid vacation per year. European countries, by contrast, mandate that employers offer at least 20 days a year.

Quote:

Did you know that over 55% of Americans did not use all their vacation time last year? According to Project: Time Off, that’s 658 million vacation days left unused. And 222 million days of those vacation days will not roll over to the next year, be paid out or be saved in any other way, which means almost one third of those vacation days are truly lost.

I know.

I just went looking at those European vacation laws in greater detail, thinking that hourly part-time folks didn't actually get those benefits--but they do! After working part time for just one month, employees in the UK and Germany start accruing paid vacation days. That's almost unbelievable.

And the ones who can afford it don't want to.
