It's not an echo chamber. In a lot of Europe holiday time is protected by law. This is not the case in the US. Just because a few people like you get paid time off beyond what the law dictates doesn't suddenly make everything even. You got yours, which is great, but what about the millions of others who don't?
One of my current projects, the PM for the US company went off for maternity leave, and I was surprised she was back like a few weeks later. It's basically a year standard here, and 18 months isn't completely unusual depending on employer benefits for top-up on your salary.
I'm happy you got yours
With that business cell, I’m assuming you are answering calls on your time off.
