“Hey boss, I just want to let you know I’m taking 52 days of vacation in 2024,” Liang said in a recent TikTok video.

Bob, it is way too early for jokes,” he said, playing his “boss,” who sounds dissatisfied with his employee's overuse of vacation days.

You're not receiving more days off per Liang's advice. Instead, he suggests maximizing long weekends and other employer-paid holidays.

We say “typically” since not everyone has these days off or works Monday–Friday.

Be aware that this suggestion only works if you receive weekends and federal holidays off. If so, scroll down to prolong weekends.
