This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Vacation days disappearing if they go unused for a year is pretty common.

What?? Where?

I can use them only through march of the following year in Germany

But your employer is forced to proactively nudge you into taking your days off. If they request you to take your vacation and you still don't do it, they might even be required to suspend you from coming to work. A least for the minimum of vacation days per year that are required by law.

They can't just say nothing, wait until April and say: Haha, now your PTO is expired.

Yeah, America. And you should love Australia. It’s getting increasingly fucked up here.

Only ten days transfer to the next year in Spain. But even that seems like more than US gives in a year, so not too bad
