    I’ve had companies write clauses in their employee manual which states you must apply and get approval for using your paid vacation days a month in advance. When you sign the contract, you agree to these rules.

    The thing is, where I live, there is no requirement to receive approval, and you really only need to give one day of notice (which has precedent in court). The use of these days off if the employee’s legal right.

    The really shitty thing is that companies can legally write illegal clauses in their contracts, they just can’t enforce them. However, if an employee is young and doesn’t know their rights, they will just follow the rules blindly (I know I did).

    Also, leave only accumulated for two years here, so you have to use it or lose it.

    So the moral of the story is to educate yourself on your local labor laws.

    It looks similar to what I drive. I like it. It is spacious enough for a family. It is also roomy enough for a tallish person (around 190cm) to drive comfortably. My partner uses it for their commute daily, and we use it for family outings or shopping.

    I do also walk or cycle for certain things, but where I live a car is a necessity if you have a family.

    They use a lot less fuel and have a much smaller footprint, which is good. But have just enough oomph to go on the expressways here.
