Why is America the 'no-vacation nation'?
Mandatory closing are one thing. Hell, I'd like to have the holidays off anyway.
But it's 50% of his total time off. Is that "the norm"?

Considering the UK minimum holiday entitlement is 4 weeks and there are 2 public holidays there (Christmas Day and Boxing Day), employees only need to take 3 days annual leave (15% their yearly total) and the company can close for one calendar week.
