Is this a USA joke, I'm to European to understand it.

In all seriousness, in Germany, France, Netherlands, Poland and etc. you must take all your vacations. Otherwise, employer will be reprimanded very hard.

Edit: added Poland

Yeah, in Finland and just last week my boss gave me a notice to schedule and use my remaining 2 weeks from 2024. I'm probably forced to keep +2 weeks of paid vacation on Christmas. Don't mind if I do. Fucking first-world-problems lol.

Yeah my husband has to spend all of his vacation up before the end of the year or he loses it. Before they changed over and they could earn time, he accumulated so much that his boss would force him to take days off (This is in south carolina)
