"Paid vacation time" sounds like a idyllic fever dream to me. And you guessed it. I'm also American

Even when i had a union job, you wouldn't get paid vacation until after 1 year on the job, and it had to be taken during either the 4th of July shutdown, or the Christmas shut down. Then after 3 years you would get a second week paid vacation that you had to use during the other shutdown. After 5 years you got a third week that could be used whenever. This is why i always stand with French protestors because the moment you give corporations an inch they demand a mile.
