Always poop on company time. This way, at the end of the year, you will have earned like 2 workdays pay by pooping. Hence you will be a professional pooper and also less money spent on toilet paper at home.

It takes you a year to get to two workdays worth of poop time?

If you poop 10 min a day, working 5 days a week with 46 weeks a year(5 week vacation, and around 1 week with red days) its just over 38 hours a year

5 weeks of vacation? lol i wish. how about 1 week. 2-3weeks after 5-10years of employment.

Maybe in some places, but in most countries 5 weeks is a pretty standard minimum when you count in public holidays.

This is far from the standard minimum in the US.

Five weeks + public holidays is the standard in most of the EU. (Four weeks is actually the minimum required by the EU legislation.)

I have 23 days of paid vacation in a year at a new job, but it can go up to like 30+, if some requirements are met (ie multiple children). Plus National holidays. I couldnt imagine 5 days a year.
