The company is mandated by law to allow paid vacation. Employees do not have to take it, but they usually do and companies are often mandated to remind their employees about unused PTO. All countries, except the US have some form of laws like this.

Europeons have insane amounts of vacation when they first start. They get 20 days vacation + 10-13 days of holidays. that's a month and a half off, per year.
Maternity leave is FULLY paid, for 14 weeks.... 25% of the year, add in vacation and holidarys... you've got an employee that 100+ days out of 260 work days.
Now, imagine you're some hole in the wall business with 4-6 employees. and two women go on maternity leave at the same time.
We had a guy claim he hurt his back, he got full pay for the entire time he was gone, which was a year and a half, and they couldn't fire him, or even hire a replacement to do his work. They ended up using unpaid interns to do his job. (he was head of IT...)
When I left the company 7 years later, I found out he was still on paid medical leave.
You're obviously retarded and can't do math. It's 45 weeks out of 52, and pretend you have the mental capacity to start a business. You're paying some dickwad for that time he's fucking off, and also paying the government as well. That's overhead for you that's forced on you, not counting the other shit I said. But I guess you're just a NEET and don't actually understand anything.
But when you compare it to the dogshit work culture of the US and other countries like Japan and ROK (where they have mandated pto in technicality, but there's a severe societal shame for taking it), it works out better in the long run, because people will have better morale. The shitbags will absolutely be noticed by the others given enough time. And America has absolutely no shortage of people fucking off and wasting time either. "They pretend to pay us so we pretend to work", a joke from the soviet union, but it applies to America also. It's just that instead of fucking off by taking leave they'll skate on the job.
In fact, mandatory time off is the *norm* throughout history, this block of time since the start of the industrial revolution is the outlier. The medieval peasant worked less than even the laziest spaniard or Greek does today. And the medieval peasant was protected by a really good trade union called "we will put the lords and his childrens heads on fucking pikes with papal approval if he takes an hour away from a single religious holiday", which was quite effective in general.
Hitlers Germany actually went a step further and had state mandated fun time where the government would literally give you time off and *subsidize* having fun, even going as far as tourism around the world. Completely free, out of the NSDAP's pocket. It certainly didn't damper germanys ability to industrialize at all.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed.

Why are you so hostile? Is that the way you live? That must be exhausting. Perhaps you need a holiday.
