Americans Are Using PTO to Sleep, Not for Vacation—Report

  As an American who works for Germans with German benefits, I’m never leaving. The pay is probably 10% lower, but the 2 months of PTO and cheap/good health insurance mean I’ll stay until they drag me out

    Herzlich Willkommen!

    Plus, you don’t have to take vacation days when you’re sick. And when you’re sick during vacation that also doesn’t eat up your vacation days.

    I’m going to have 5 weeks starting in February and I have no idea what to do with it all. I definitely can’t afford to vacation.

      I spend a lot of my vacation visiting family and friends I wouldn’t get to see otherwise.

      Typically crashing with them and helping around the house so I’m not a burden, then camping or grilling or otherwise chilling.

      I spread mine out through out the year as 3 day weekends. I can’t afford to go anywhere, and will lose them if they’re not used up. It’s a rest/do shit at home/Dr appt day.

    In France things are changing and now if you get sick during your paid holiday with a doctor note you can postpone your holidays.

  Fuck that; I’m American and I use my vacation time to go on vacation.

  I don’t care if it bankrupts me; if I don’t get out of town at least once or twice a year I will go insane. Work/life balance is everything.
