What next? Demanding that Congress move the date of Halloween to the last Thursday in October and make it a national holiday, so that we'd get a nice 4 day weekend out of it?

Oh, and let's not forget Groundhog Day. That's a day one should spend with family, maybe at church. Forcing people to work on that holiday is simply not right.

US workers get less holidays, less vacation, less sick time, and less benefits than any first world country - yet we are still falling behind in nearly every category.

Maybe giving people a bit more time off to spend with friends and families would result in people working harder when they are actually at work.

I don't know... To me, you're either the type to work hard or you aren't. I'm the type that doesn't mind staying late at the office every day. My uncle never leaves his before 8pm. My father was the same when he was a corporate type. Everything i've seen points to two types of peopl, the 9-5ers and the people that actually want to advance. I don't think any amount of vacation will make the 9-5ers more productive, but i could be wrong.
