That first solid work year, when I had no vacation days and had to work over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year week. SUCKED! At one point, I was the most senior person in the building (outranked a secretary).
My new Canadian management team scheduled a 3-day all-day meeting this week, I'm channeling Alan Alda: "reschedule this thing pronto, or we nuke Toronto"
Really hate July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cuz I'm off work for a week to two weeks depending on the year. Most of the time I need to use my vacation time to get a decent paycheck.
I feel for you. I was married to the military so job hopping was the norm. But that means that I am currently still low enough at my company that I have very little vacation, which my kid uses up just being a kid. Had our first almost real vacation this year.
Having gone from retail to office work it's wild how much of this is the reverse from retail. Im preparing for all of my projects to stall out until next year due to people talking off work and on the flip side I'd be preparing for 60 hour work weeks until Christmas
I cook at a gas station. Yes, that's a real thing in my neck of the woods. You would not believe how many people order their holiday meals from us. Looking at 10 to 12 hour days until January.
I wish I had saved more of my vacation days so I could at least do nothing from home this week, but I need to save my last two to cover that awkward 23rd/24th gap before Christmas. Like 3/4s of people are taking this week off at my job.
I feel the US has just as many unproductive office days as Europe but we just want employees to sit around for 8 hours during many of them instead of giving them leave.

Right there I learned to save my vacation days.
I probably won't actually know if I can take Thursday and Friday off until Wednesday
Kill me now.
