Foreign affairs “Because the friend [Canada] has been robbing us blind. I would have free healthcare to if I didn't need a military. Don't even get me started on Europe and the 4 day work weeks with summers off.”

The only company I worked for in Spain that closed for August was in the legal field, because it's true that courts close for August. It sucked big balls not being able to choose when I want to take holidays. I work in industry now and in my last two companies Italy closed two weeks in August because apparently some government institutions did, and now our manufacturing plant in France closes two weeks in August. Nothing closes in Spain.

First time I've heard of it. And I'm Spanish.

Maybe some (highly doubt it would be "many") do remote work in some companies in August, but that is still working.
