is this ragebait?
I assume it's satire
It's got to be because that's way too many days off in the US and in other countries that have this many days off have legal requirements to use up your allotted time off.
Not necessarily force you legally to use all, but force the employer to allow you to use them all
Or at least pay out the unused days as additional wage and they really don't like that.
If I don't take it all by November, my manager starts getting on me about it because it's looks like he's working me too hard. Coming from the usa, we're I had 10 days annually, I'm finding it tricky to use all 30 here. This isn't a complaint! Many of my colleagues take it all at once, in July, because that's the German rules (Spain if flying, Croatia if driving). I take 6 week trips thought the year. It's fantastic!
That is the $64 question. It might be, but on the other hand, CEOs are as disconnected from reality, they might actually believe that.
Bank holiday suggests it's UK, and we have legal requirement for 28 days holiday pro-rated per year. If staff don't book it, the employer has to allocate it. So it is satire.
If it was from a USian, I wouldn't be able to tell.
I think it's fake, but if you made a ton of money as a high-paid CEO, you probably wouldn't mind working long hours. Cuz you know that you won't be there for the next 40 years or 50 years. Milk it while you can, right?
