Your Cubicle - Home Away From Home! Tell me it's not true! I recently read an article from www.bizjournals.com which claims that Americans aren't using all of their available vacation time. According to a recent employee benefits survey taken by Expedia, Americans get an average of 14 paid vacation days per year. But, for reasons largely related to work responsibilities, they're leaving an average of 3 days untaken. This has got to stop! Isn't it bad enough that Germany receives 27 days, Spain gets 31 days, and France gets 37 (that's right thirty-seven) days of paid vacation? The least we can do is use the measly 14 days that we're given. You deserve a vacation, so take it, America!
