    Only because it’s not a law. In Germany, it’s usual to get 30 days of vacation, 20 are legal minimum. Your employer is required to make sure, you actually take at least 20 days and can be fined otherwise.

      The government forcing you to relax and have fun, or else, is wonderfully absurd. Feels like a paradox to be honest.

      Our government doesn’t care about us beyond how much value we can produce for the Oligarchs. The exception being certain natural disasters. Even then, how much they care is dependent on whether it gets national coverage, or international coverage.

        No, they force your employer. Not you. That’s a huge difference. You’re free to do whatever you want, but your employer has to make sure, you actually get that time.
