UK. But it's actually a German company. Everywhere I've worked has been pushy about you using your holiday though (managers obviously don't want it to hit the end of the year and suddenly everyone wants to use it instead of loosing it) but the 75% almost as soon as it renews is the most extreme example I've come across.

My holiday year renews in April. If I've not got 75% of mine booked by June they moan at me everyday until I get it booked. I'm pretty sure that if I don't book it up the policy is that they'll just book me off (at times it suits them of course).

Sounds like your country has really shitty workers rights.

At my work if I don't book at least 75% of my holiday days by like a month after renewal my boss starts to really moan at me.

The meme must be an American thing.

I was in my mother's womb when Chernobyl was melting down.

Not a boomer, but as a Brit - the grey squirrel is an invasive species which has pretty much driven out the native red squirrel from most of the country. They also cause damage to trees through bark stripping.

A book.

Should we ban pubs from having car parks? Since the exhaust fumes are quite toxic.

No, but we should ban the sale of new ICE cars (and in so doing begin a complete phase out) for those reasons and because they're damaging to the wider environment.

Oh, look we are.

Apparently this shift in strategy worked, since the company is still here.

$3,000,000,000,000 understatement.

Goodbye

Looks like around 8,000 Michael's were born in 2023, so probably about another 4,000 so far this year. I'll not sure at what age American's start mutilating their children's penises though, so I guess some of those might already be done.
