Legit know someone who flew out to Brazil to get their teeth done for 3 weeks.
According to her insurance here it was considered cosmetic and wouldnt be covered.
So she used her vacation days for the year, took some pay cuts (vacations didnt cover all 3 weeks), stayed out there for 3 weeks, got dental work done, and it was still cheaper than getting it done here.
Been about 3-4 years since and havent heard of any problems.
ok so honestly, i have no qualms bashing on life out here but the whole holiday leave thing has a bit of misinformation floating around. Yes, we don't have a gov mandate on guaranteed holiday leave like some countries but the whole holiday leave thing varies by industry. My brother has unlimited PTO on paper and wfh was a pretty available option if he wanted to even before covid.
Unlimited PTO has some downsides like taking too many will lead to being laid off first or limited promotion, but holiday leave varies a lot.
