Would you say NO to more holidays ?
Swiss vote against taking more holiday
Swiss voters have rejected an increase to their legal holiday entitlement amid fears it could damage the national economy.
Well the Swiss did..
Re-enforcing Switzerland's reputation as a country of dedicated workers 66.5 per cent of Swiss said "no" in a national referendum to bringing their country into line with the likes of Germany by adding another two weeks to the four weeks paid leave they now enjoy.
But it appears most voters heeded warnings that more time away from the workplace would increase labour costs and put the economy at risk.

So! Would you do the same ?
Qatar is the richest country - so wouldnt mind extra holidays. Doesnt make a difference to the economy.
But back in India, ofcourse i would say NO to extra holidays - we already have 300 days of holidays out of 365 days a year!!!
holiday is good...
Surely i will say No... More public holidays mean more delay in work and affect economy.
I get 40 days annual holiday + 2 days off that’s for the weekend and then good 6 days for sick leave 6 days for emergency leave 6 hours instead of 8 for the Ramadan and 5 days off for each Islamic Festival holiday ( The Eid ) and umm what else? Ok 1 day off for Christmas lol.
Sri Lankans gov. employees are working only 85 days a year. go and find a job there :)
Better say NO or else someday it would come to bite me.
we might also say No if our job is at risk...
No I don't need more holidays. Gets boring after sometime.
I would say NO and work a longer week, in order to retire early..:)
I would say no if it would hurt economy.
Please answer quiclky: when you say you have 1 month leave, does that mean 30 days leave with or without weekends? And do you mean you don't go to work during Ramadaan???
My 4th day here, and going for interview today, thus the (silly) questions!
That said if it's at the expense of facing turmoil in the economic environment of any land, then I second the decision of the Swiss people, and will say No to more holidays.
I want my company to run business 24/7 * 365 days.....
like Citi never sleeps but employee should rest for Best Results.
ooooops sorry....
well i wld say NO in that case
Yes I would if it would hurt the economy (and vicariously me!) in my own country.
Brit, I think people do not quite understand that this is a hypothetical question as in " would you say NO to more holidays if it hurts the economy in your OWN country....
Qatar need more holidays; minimum one day each month.
Check Sri Lanka where they have holidays on Full moon days, and no moon days, etc, etc, etc
Chance of saying NO is less unless U own/ run the organisation
FS, did you call me ? :(
You're missing the point. Would you say NO to more holidays if you felt that it may hurt the economy ?
I personally doubt many would..
me i wld like to have more days provided the leave payment continuing in the same form :D
the post is nt abt anybody's satisfaction
I think we need 3 off days every week..
and 5 national holidays..
and i think they should even announce a public holiday on my birthday :P
some r never satisfied
1 month paid vacation + 10 public holidays + 1 month Ramadan (6 hours a day) not enough ??????????????????
We need more holidays here...we dont have enough :P
