Let's be blunt: If you like to take lots of vacation, the United States is not the place to work.
Besides a handful of national holidays, the typical American worker bee gets two or three precious weeks off out of a whole year to relax and see the world -- much less than what people in many other countries receive.
And even that amount of vacation often comes with strings attached.
Some U.S. companies don't like employees taking off more than one week at a time. Others expect them to be on call or check their e-mail even when they're lounging on the beach or taking a hike in the mountains. More...
Don't miss:
- Which countries take the most vacation?
- Karoshi or overwork, Japan's silent killer...
- The world's hardest working countries. Insane!!
- Get up early and work harder, Germans tell Greeks!!!
- The French love going on vacation, the Japanese not so much...
- Mexicans have the longest working days, Belgians the shortest...
- Want to get paid for doing virtually nothing? Become a civil servant ... in France!!!
