In a note from La Tercera that inquires whether 15 days of vacation are few for Chileans, recalling the case of the fund manager Fintual, who communicated on LinkedIN that their workers can have up to seven weeks of vacation and a minimum of five year.

Given this, they consulted different people on this issue, one of them being Subtle.

In this regard, he pointed out to the morning that “considering that we have had a period of economic crisis, what should move us the most is the spirit of rebuilding the country and, therefore, I do not agree on a position to increase the vacation periods, beyond normal “.

It is worth mentioning that Juan Sutil became a trend in social networks before his words.

In the same publication of La Tercera, meanwhile, the economist of Libertad y Desarrollo Tomás Flores indicated that “it is probably the worst time to increase vacation days, since this implies an increase in labor costs for companies that have barely achieved survive this pandemic. “

“As long as there is no impact on the total hours worked, it is possible to carry out this debate, but without a doubt today is not the time for it,” he said.

Meanwhile, the economist and director of the Center for Longitudinal Studies and Surveys at UC David Bravo, commented that “there are very few vacation days in Chile.”

Alfredo Araneda, country manager of the Human Resources consultancy, Robert Walters, stated that “the average in the OECD is 20 days per year and speaking of Latin America, Chile is on a fairly low average, countries like Brazil, Panama and Paraguay have marked days older than us. Then I would tell you that Chile is in debt. “

Finally, Karina Pérez, who is the executive director of Robert Half, a company specialized in recruitment and selection of personnel, also made a similar opinion known.

“We are talking about not only that we have vacations that are short compared to other countries, but that we also work longer hours. They are both,” he concluded.
