    WTF? This is worse than fucking Russia. And Russia itself has very low labour standards. 5-day 8-hour per day work week with 4 weeks of paid vacation(paid as in wage is still coming, not paid as in paying for travel and stuff) per year with minimum 14 days continiously. How can you get worse than that?

      Many places in America give absolutely zero paid vacation at all. Ever. It is extremely common. No paid sick days either.

      The average American gets barely more than a week and a half of paid vacation per year, total. And many can’t even afford to use their unpaid leave.
