Asking for a day off at work can seem simple at first.
So, you’re asking for a day off.
Let’s take a closer look at what that really means.
There are 365 days in a year.
However, there are 52 weeks, and you already get two days off each week.
As a result, that leaves 251 working days.
Each day, you spend about 16 hours away from work.
Because of this, you use up roughly 170 days a year.
Therefore, only 81 days remain.
In addition, you take 30 minutes each day for coffee breaks.
Over a year, that adds up to 23 days.
So now, just 68 days are left.
Furthermore, you take a one-hour lunch break every day.
As a result, another 46 days are gone.
This leaves only 22 days.
On top of that, you usually take two sick days per year.
Consequently, your available time drops to 20 days.
You also receive five public holidays each year.
Because of this, your working time is reduced to 15 days.
Finally, we generously give you 14 days of annual leave.
Therefore, only one working day remains for the entire year.
So, if you think you’re getting that day off…
You must be out of your mind.
