Wow unbelievable, I never knew that. For someone who works in EU this sounds ridiculous.

For many years, my dad was given 4 days off a year for both sick and vacation time. Any other time was unpaid. He changed jobs last year, and I haven't asked him if his new job is the same or not.

It is absolutely ridiculous.

It’s not true for white collar work. For the most part, salaried and even non salaried full time workers get at least 20 days of paid time off a year.
Nope, average is 10. And this is gross: "A remarkable 23 percent of Americans have no paid vacations and no paid holidays."
