> I was shocked at how slow business got in the EU in summer, there's for sure a dip in the US with people going on vacation but nothing like Europe in July/August
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.
