Americans get way less vacation days than other countries, but still don't use all of their days

Americans don't believe themselves to be temporarily embarrassed millionaires. They believe themselves to be temporarily embarrassed slave owners.
Americans live in terror that they're on the cusp of losing their job and will need to become slaves in the gig economy.
How much is it a factor that America has at will employment where the employer can fire the worker for arbitrary reasons like taking all of their leave?
Oh you are sick and used all your PTO / Sick days? Looks like you're getting points for being absent. Oh 3 days? Looks like you got too many points. HR will send you your separation letter now.
also your workplace health insurance is cancelled.
Is there a difference?
Not from a left perspective. But I meant it more like, they don't even care about being millionaire, so long as they have their slave to boss around. It also has some vibes of how people always imagine going a knight or noble in the past and never a serf full of worms shitting their guts out in the barley fields.
