i never liked my job to begin with but that doesn't mean i'm gonna do it really shitty.
Not really. There are times where I work 12-14 hour days, but it isn't the norm. Overall I have a pretty cushy gig. When I think of people who work their asses off, I think of 10-12 hour days being the norm for someone who works in an office, or just anyone whose job involves a lot of physical labor or working out in shitty weather. For me to ever claim that I "work my ass off" would be an insult to people who actually do.
Euros get like 3 months of vacation right off the start, are they dq'd from this thread?
I get 10 days.

I am German, got to live up to the stereotype...
As always, In the US, paid time off is hard to get.
From 2001 until 2013, I didn't get a single day of paid time off and thus didn't take a single "vacation" during that time. During that period I got 7 holidays a year, unpaid.
After taking an office spot...I get a whopping week off paid. 16 years of service, 1 week paid vacation. At least I now get my holidays off paid.

If an employer treated a full time employee like that here the story would genuinely be in the national newspapers.
