Bad news, I suppose people will think it's great having 4 weeks off on holiday, but most employees will spend the time worrying about their long term prospects, and would rather be at work.
Don't know how it is in other states, however, in Florida, Mini dealers are so far apart that it has to adversely affect sales; must be at least a half dozen BMW dealers to every Mini dealer, so you may have to drive a couple hundred miles just to get to the nearest.
