Japanese company giving employees who don't smoke 6 extra vacation days (2017)

My goodness, why would you want to work anywhere that has employees who are making suggestions like this.

'The smokers take too much time on their break, you should take that away from them.'

Talk about a busybody who should mind their own business and focus on their own issues. Taking breaks is very important, it prevents burn out and stress. What you do on that time (ie: smoking) is your own damn business. Anti-smokers (and ex-smokers) are the worst kind of fascists, always trying to pry away your rights and freedoms.

Note: author is not a smoker

Where did you read that? They say smokers take more breaks so they give non-smokers extra free time, they don’t give smokers less.

Smoking is a stupid habit. It’s going away and that is going to take a lot of force, extremely high prices and less and less room for smoking. You better get used to it because the future is non-smoking.

Have you been outside North America recently??

They now have 7 vacation days.

Not sure if there’s a translation error, but since when is an incentive not a form of coercion?
