European here.
Lately at my work, we are actually being asked to submit a vacation plan for the next year at the end of the previous year. I basically had to sit down with my significant other and plan out exactly when we would take time off. My work demands this (and to a lesser degree, hers too) because people apparently have issues with using up their vacation days in the year they are valid for, and that is a real problem for the company, even a legal one. Theoretically, if there is a lot of work, and vacation time is not possible, the company could agree to not let the vacation days expire, but that means they have to put money on the side in case they have to pay out the vacation days, which is a lot of money uselessly bound that cannot be spent.
So yeah, 30 days every year, and when we're sick, we're sick. Some people take a vacation day to see a doctor, but most people just try to do that in the early morning or in the evening and maybe take some overtime hours for that.
I am not telling you this to gloat. I am telling you this to let you know your bosses are taking you for a ride. Demand more, demand better. If that doesn't work, there's always
As a European, you should remember that it took 15 years to go from the guillotine to crowning Napoleon emperor with similar powers to the late king.
I agree- demand more, demand better. But don't expect to solve your problems with a guillotine. It takes a hell of a lot more than that.
True, but sometimes it's good to remind the bourgeoise that they should be scared if the mistreatment of the working class grows unacceptable to the latter, with no way to change things from within the system.
I'm in Denmark, if I need to go to the doctor, dentist etc during working hours, it is usually counted as sick leave. This means full pay and no deduction in vacation time, and here we don't run out of sick leave.
Although we do have a dury to try doing it outside office hours.
