  • in the US, “holiday” means something different from “paid time off”. a holiday is something like christmas, easter, labor day, independence day, that sort of thing. it’s like a widely recognized specific special day. also for a lot of workers they don’t even get holidays off of work.

    “vacation” is what we use to describe taking time off of work here, and “paid time off” is specifically for describing how the time off is arranged with one’s employer.

    all pedantic, but yeah, “holiday” means something a lot different here


  • Is there an ending to that story? If I was in that situation, I would have ignored it all and then came back the day I said I’d come back and act like everything was normal, make up something about how my phone got broken or stolen or something.

    At the very least I hope you tried to get unemployment or some such!
