> "pickled cucumber season"
Funny, it's called "cucumber time" (agurketid) in Danish. I wonder if it's a related term in Nordic countries + Estonia.

I've never heard any similar expression in English, nor in any Romance languages. The Brits use "silly season" for the same concept in journalism/news.
The US does not sent a mandatory minimum, and consequently many employers don't offer anywhere near as much time off.
Reminds me of back when I worked for a company that exported machines to the US and my boss told an American customer that we couldn't get a shipment sent in June which meant it couldn't be sent before somewhere in August since key personell was on holiday in July.
They then asked if he couldn't just tell us we had to work anyway, which -luckily for us- wasn't an option.
Sorry, hope you got some nice overtime bonus (but I fear not.)
