People not taking vacations is no surprise to me. I have no money to take a vacation. And I use all my PTO for sick kids or sick self. I currently have 1 hour of PTO! And I haven't taken a vacation in about 5 years, since before I had kids.
I hate these articles that assume every job is an office job where you can just leave early or work from home or book a day off 10 days out. This is not reality. I found out it was the school BBQ - 8 days out. I am hoping they tell us about holiday concerts further in advance. We book vacation 6-9 months in advance. We cannot leave early. A lot of jobs cannot leave early. Nurse, plumber, policeman, walmart clerk, babysitter. You can't just work from home when you are a mechanic.
