I'm assuming, yeah. I don't think the EU is even allowed to force this kind of thing!(I'm a former U.S. worker)

You guys in the US are treated like slaves

I'd assume so. I'm in ireland. Mandatory 20 days per year annual leave, on top of 9 (or possibly 10) Bank Holidays. Strict laws around scheduling. Personally, I work in an industry where its mandatory to have weekends off, so my shift is essentially set in stone. I can work overtime, when it's available, but there's no pressure to do so. I couldn't imagine living in a place like the US, with so much pressure to work long hours, every day of the week.

Just had to use vacation days for having covid. Yes, this is America.

Duh, the only democracy that after banning slavery managed to refurbish it so most of the population is still in chains, except this time they're financial instead of physical.

Of course it is. We’re dying to live, but living to die.

Save us.

Sounds like it. I had a job where I had over 80 hours of PTO built up. I tried to take a day off because the roads were icy and it wasn't safe to drive. My boss guilt tripped to me into coming in anyway Before that, I worked at a restaurant. My infant at the time kid was sick and the next day was supposed to be my day off. My boss at the restaurant tried to guilt Trip me to coming in.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?! XD You know something is just a huge screaming red flag when someone just automatically knows where a statement applies to. Lol

Canada is not much different!

Always. I mean, it's 2022 and somehow we're okay with Amazon making employees pee in jars! "Give me cheap stuff right now". But don't make billionaires, who consume far more resources than the rest of us pay taxes. WTF? Sadly wealth is not contagious.

Is there any other place?

Was going to say the same thing verbatim

Where else?

Probably

Of course it's the US. We are high strung, stressed and Depressed. Unless your born rich.

I’m going to say a hard yes. I felt this to my core.

I doubt it. Federal law here dictates that overtime is mandatory time and a half pay. No US job wants you to get overtime. They're losing money

HAHAHAHAHAHA

You're clearly a non skilled entry level worker. Maybe a kid fresh out of school or a Foreigner? First of all I've never worked at a place over the age of 18 where I didn't have paid sick time or vacation. Every company offers it to retain talent. Otherwise skilled people(not people like you)would simply go somewhere else to work. Secondly the US is like the EU as in you need to think of states as countries. There are many States that have these laws your referring to. My advice to you is stop being lazy and get a real job. There are tons of jobs right now in manufacturing or the trades that offer good wages and great benefits with no experience needed. Of course you usually need to pass a drug test and physical if that's not too hard for you

The US has universal healthcare... It's called Medicaid or Medicare if you're elderly. Cost you nothing to get. Unions have already served their purpose years ago now they're overpaid useless money drains on the taxpayers or flat out scams for workers. The people that are complaining here have a lot more going on than they're telling if they're claiming not to be useless or lazy. They choose jobs meant for highschool kids, mothers or disabled people for some personal reason or another. These jobs are low because disabled people can do them and they're usually supplemented with another form of income. They usually don't work full-time and don't receive benefits.

Love this!!! Lol are you hiring?? I posted comment as well🔼...we don't have budget at our nonprofit but I still will continue to eat soup to do a job that makes me feel like Im making a change in the people we serves lives! Cheers to Non Profits n those who are smart enough to work for them...😊

Healthcare? I just quit a job because of no vacation in 3 years and needing to do double shifts. I'm management but when you count the extra time I'm making less than the other employees make because they get overtime

That's not good for your physical &; mental well-being SparkleFarts. I'd have a mental breakdown with your work schedule.
