    I’m European and the title made me chuckle a bit.

    I upvoted one of the most upvoted comments by a fellow Euro person saying that basically no one here does that (when I say no one, I mean statistically. Maybe 1 in 10k people does).

    The point tho is, that you technically could.

    And even if you don’t take the entire month off in one go, you still have around 4 or 5 weeks paid leave over a year, which is much better than most of the places in the US, from what I hear.

      I lived in the UK and now live in the US, and I have more time off now than ever before. I work in tech in the Bay Area, so I know I’m living in a bit of a dream world, but it’s not all doom and gloom to move from Europe to America.
