You honestly believe 57% of Americans aren't taking vacation pay bc they don't want to? Bc they want to work harder since it's in their cultural DNA?
Have you ever worked a job in your entire life? You sound unfathomably naive.

I think the issue is a lot more complex than simply OH MY GOD CORPORATIONS ARE EVIL, OPPRESSED SERFS, WE NEED GOVERNMENT blah blah blah.

More proof that Americans are workaholics: Even when we get paid vacation, many of us don't take it. A new survey of employees finds that only 25 percent of employees with paid time off took all of their vacation days last year. What's worse, 15 percent took none of their vacation days at all. The rest took some portion of the days they were allotted, according to the data released Thursday by employment website Glassdoor. Even when employees took vacation, many ended up working. More than half of the employees who took vacation said they did some work while they were supposed to be off, according to the Glassdoor data.

I have never taken all of my vacation days in 10+ years of being in the work force. Never needed or wanted to. I've probably lost in excess of a month to it.
