Our European counterparts are laughing at us, who don't take a month off every year. And for some reason, this is how I see them doing so.

Eh. In practice, we're fairly abused as well. I may have more holidays than my US counterparts, but in reality I can only take vacation when the schedule of the company allows it, which is never more than a week at a time at best and like three days in a row realistically.

That seems to be highly dependent on location...we also have to coordinate with the needs of the company where i live, however we are still entitled to minimum 3 weeks vacation during summer (june-august) and at least two of them back to back regardless of the needs of the company.

Also very dependent on the type of work you're doing. If a certain amount of people need to be on site and you need to coordinate that, things get more difficult.
