There is much more to life than work. We all have families, friends, and a beautiful world to enjoy. We need more time off to enjoy it.

So here in Italy you get 168 hours of holidays, which you have to schedule in agreement with your employer; then you also have 104 hours of leave, which you can take whenever you need to, and your employer cannot refuse them. At a previous job we also had, as a second level agreement over the national collective contracts, 10 hours of medical leave, which you could use for… doctor stuff.
edit: you don’t HAVE to take your holidays, but most employers FORCE you to, because it’s costly for them if you don’t, they pay more taxes and may get fined
Yeah, I had 40 hours of medical and I burned that already with surgery last month. :(
Thats fucking heartbreaking. If I was you I’d take my last paycheck and move to anywhere in the eu,ASAP. Free Healthcare, days off and employers that aren’t complete fuckers
Surgery is sick leave, that’s unlimited, wtf
Most Americans have a separate bank of “Sick Time” from their normal “Vacation time” bank, if they have any at all.
See, my current employer leaves that up to our managers. Some managers consider all sick leave PTO, some consider it “do whatever you need to do” and it’s kinda insane.
i got fired for taking too much sick leave in statesia
