      Yeah, I lived there for three decades. I got a bunch of time off, but if I said I wanted every August off I’d be in for a bit of a shock.

        It’s unusual to see more than 3 weeks where I’ve worked too but it’s more so because of people’s travel habits and not wanting to be out of vacation days the rest of the year

        I’d get shock and a comment but yeah it could go through

        Places I’ve been to follow the 2-1 rule, try to ask two days in advance for 1 day off

        Most countries would legally allow you though.

        Companies would be able to schedule a replacement for that time.

        But why would you want to, really? August is expensive and everyone else is on holiday as well.
