    YEAH THAT SOUNDS FUCKING HORRIBLE, TORTURE REALLY.

    I however am the rare american who is enjoying my third uninterrupted week of total freedom. This is because I was fired from my job three weeks ago. Corporate restructuring my ass.

    The time is nice and I did get some severance, but there is zero enjoyment knowing that if I don’t land a job soon, I will be hard fucked. Sorry kids, we are canceling music lessons, and any other recreations until your loser unemployed parent can get work again. Wheee!

      I hate it because I’m forced to take it, even if I’d want to take 2+2+1 week instead.

      Many times if be much better off being able to not take three consecutive weeks off and use that time at other parts of the year. The 3 weeks also HAVE to be taken in June, July, or May. I hate summer and prefer staying indoors and working in AC.

      Let me take those 3 consecutive weeks at any time of the year and it’d be great. I’d love to go snowboarding for 3 weeks.

      BUT I am glad the law exists at all, forcing employers to give people proper vacations.
