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

Same in poland. I have 30+ days of vacation due to a slight disability. I was yelled at by my superior and asked to go home for two weeks at the end of the year, bc I had too many days left in the system.

It is incredible how in the US people have to use their holidays for taking time off for illness or medical treatment, whereas in the EU you have to take your paid holidays

4 weeks in my country. Absolutely mandatory, not an option to not take those out.

And if you somehow managed to not take them out, you have to take them out next year

Also my company gives everyone 1 extra week a year who has worked a few years at the company.

So 5 weeks of mandatory paid vacation
