I'll never understand this. I regularly encourage my staff to use their PTO and only deny requests if multiple people want overlapping days. Even then, if we can rearrange the schedule to make it work, we will.

See, you have morals and empathy.

Most managers and owners don't.

Most managers and owners in US don't.

Sorry, my US brain was assuming only US people again!

Though yalls owners class frequently does want to be exactly like the US owners class. Don't think I haven't noticed the sharp rise in barely-not-fascist and outright fascist parties in Europe! And the middle east has been run by fascists for decades thanks to the US and various European powers.

Basically we all suck, some just suck less and slower

Yes, companies want to do the same in Europa, but we have laws for that.

Well considering the median worker in China, the place we all mock for their employee protection laws and poor wages, makes more than the median American, maybe its not as close a gap as you make it sound like.
