The Medieval Vacation Scam: How Medieval Peasants Had More Days Off Than You Do"
Manage episode 520449876 series 3702576
Did medieval peasants… actually have more days off than you?
Yep. And once you hear the numbers, you’re going to want to walk into HR and demand “Aethelric-level PTO” immediately.
In this episode of The Mike and Mark History Experience, we break down the wildly unfair truth about work-life balance:
💀 Modern workers: two hundred fifty to two hundred sixty days a year
🌾 Medieval peasants: one hundred fifty to one hundred eighty days a year
(Yes, seriously.)
Mike and Mark dive into:
• Why medieval Europe built mandatory rest into the calendar
• How feast days, festivals, and “St. Monday” created real downtime
• The shocking reason modern-day Germans work less than medieval farmers today
