Work Holidays in China

[Guest ShaQuaNew]

Well, here we have another holiday coming up in China next week, and that's right on the heels to the long Moon Day weekend we just had. This upcoming week, is the Chinese National Holiday, where most every business closes for the week; excluding retail business of course. To make up for it, most businesses have their people work this Saturday and Sunday. Not such a bad trade-off to get seven days in a row.

 

It seems that the US is one of the few countries in the world, that has a bit of a shortage on Holidays and long weekends.

While we don't have the really long weekends in the US, we definitely have more public holidays than China.

 

In China they have a total of 9 days worth of holidays. We have more than that.

And if you hang in there long enough at most US jobs you get lots of vacation time...As a gummint worker with 21 years on the job I get 20 vacation days, 12 sick days, 2 personal days, 5 comp days and 9 holidays every year... Doesn't everybody???

Most US workers have been on their current job for less than five years; some by choice, but most probably not. Many are victims of cutbacks, layoffs, downsizing, and jobs being shipped offshore or overseas.

Cuzin' uNcA foGgiE, a lot of people don't get the option of "hanging in there long enough" with many american employers these dayz, very sad to say.

 

Now, an enterprising entrepreneur can take off, or work as many dayz as they choose...heck, they can even take 3 month vacations...if THEY choose.

 

I am glad you have had the privilage to start workin' early enough for Uncle that you will see out your retirement.
