Did you know :
138 countries have a minimum paid vacation law, the United States not being one of them?
Some 25% of Americans get no vacation at all?
Stress and burnout at work cost the US economy over $300 billion a year? Talk about reducing health care costs.
Studies have shown that workers are 40% more alert when they return, therefore being more productive, creating more output per worker - enough to compensate for the hiring of new employees to cover everyone's three week vacation time?
This isn't rocket science. I don't understand why we as citizens of one of the most industrialized countries in the world, have put up with this for so long. It is inhumane!
We need to "Get a Life", literally. It's time to "Smell the Roses".
