it's not just europe, I live in Latin America we have 3+ weeks of payed time off, the us job market is the weirdo
The meme seems to imply that Europeans all get 3+ MONTHS off a year. How do businesses operate if they're always missing a quarter of their staff?
Productivity and profits have steadily risen for decades while wages have hours worked have increased.
So business obviously were able to survive and thrive with more employees taking a larger slice of the profits. The businesses would be able to operate just fine.
