30+ Behaviors That Are Only Acceptable in the U.S. According to Non-Americans

Is there anything better than time off work? If you’ve never had a job that offers paid time off, I highly recommend it; going on vacation or even just taking a day to get a massage and go out to lunch is delightful, but it’s even sweeter when you know that the company is still paying you.

But how often you are able to do this varies from place to place. Clearly, this person is from the UK, which requires that companies offer 28 paid vacations per year. Other industrialized nations require 10 to 30. The USA is the only advanced economy that has no such law; you just have to hope that your company offers days off as a perk.
