A new study shows that workers should take their full vacation time. There are two reasons. First, when workers take breaks, they are less stressed (有压力的) and happier on the job. Second, workers will actually work harder when they come back. The study says that managers should take their full vacation time too. That’s because if workers see their managers at work all the time, they think they are expected to do the same.

Canadians are usually offered two to three weeks of paid vacation (带薪假期) when they start a job. However, one fourth of Canadian workers don’t take their full vacation time because they are afraid of having too much work to do when they get back. And most of them think they will be better workers in their managers’ eyes by     ▲   .

In the USA, the situation is even worse. Over a half of working Americans don’t use all of their vacation time. One of the biggest reasons is that they have too much work. It’s surprising that the United States is the only developed country in the world without a law (法规) to make employers (雇主) offer their workers paid vacation. Some other countries, for example, Germany, Australia and Japan, make employers offer their workers at least four weeks of paid vacation.
