      The meme seems to imply that Europeans all get 3+ MONTHS off a year. How do businesses operate if they’re always missing a quarter of their staff?

        Productivity and profits have steadily risen for decades while wages have hours worked have increased.

        So business obviously were able to survive and thrive with more employees taking a larger slice of the profits. The businesses would be able to operate just fine.

          Sounds like one of those bullshit jobs. The further you get from actually making something the less valuable skilled workers are to production.

        The meme is clearly exaggerating for comedic effect. Standard is 4 to 6 weeks PTO across Europe.

          Exactly. And the exaggeration is the same for the American part, I’m sure that even an American would take a whole half day off for kidney surgery.
