Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I want a whole fucking week off like India, how come they get to do that and we can't?
Wait, what?
I was under an incorrect assumption, looked it up. Coulda swore some nation had a week long holiday for a national celebration..
Japan has Golden Week. China usually shuts down entirely for their New Years. Several European countries have multi-week holiday periods in the summer. It's definitely a thing outside America.
Christmas is a week off. Easter is a week off.
Maybe for some lucky folks. I get Christmas Day. If the boss is feeling generous hey may let us leave early on Christmas Eve. We’re off for Easter, but since we’re closed on Sunday anyway it’s not actually a holiday.
Where is this? You'd be lucky to not get mandatory overtime here...
It's called being part of the bourgeoisie or their sycophantic enforcers.
