As an immigrant, I thank the god and fates I didn't end up in America. This level of guilt tripping and toxicity is astounding.
It would be if it weren't satire.
What is? That the US has the smallest amount of vacation days available in the developed world?
Look at the account making the statement and tell me it's actually serious.
Poe's Law. Many, MANY people would unironically agree with Priv's comment.

Well, I hope so. I heard many stories from other cultures about toxic work environment in their country, and prefer the work culture here in Ireland.
It varies greatly by company. My current company is pretty chill, but my previous was definitely not chill.
Yeah I have been given an almost identical speech about taking PTO at more than one place of work. So if this is satire, all it is doing is just saying something that really happens.
It certainly happens, and I highly doubt it's unique to the US.
Our policy is to let the team know in advance when you're taking it if it's a long leave (a week or more), that's it. If that's not possible, whatever, we'll figure it out.
yeah, you put in for it early enough for your management to have the time to properly prepare for your absence. However what this is saying is that you should shoulder this responsibility at the cost of your entitlements, rather than the company doing the work of preparing for you to use your entitlements.
Yup. As a manager, give me about twice as much notice as you plan to take off, and I'll figure out the rest.
