1-2 weeks every 12-18 months is seen as a lot? No one tell them about europe ๐ถ
I guess everyone is doing macro-retirement every year in EU.
Isn't that like a short holiday?
In my home country a legal minimum is 4 weeks a year, so 1-2 weeks is half or a quarter of a holiday if you take it at once :3
Or if you split it into 2 parts you get 2 weeks off every 6 months instead of 12-18
In my US state state employees get:
Private employers have NO legal requirement to offer any time off.
The disconnect between public and private benefits requirements are ridiculous.
I think we have 15 holidays we get a day off for, a month of paid vacation time from the start, aaaand infinite sick leave :3.. and maternity and paternity leave, plus unpaid time off if you want that for some reason :p
Federal is a little better, 10-11 holidays, and 30 days vacation, plus 2 weeks of pure sick leave. But you are not encouraged to take holidays.
We get 4 weeks annual leave plus 2 weeks of public holidays
Ultra short holiday. I get seven weeks paid, usually take four off in a row nowadays and spread the rest around Christmas or whenever I feel I need to rest up from work.
No one tell them about the majority of countries.
Real :3
12-18 months??? I read it as weeks and was still considering it normal vacation.
You guys get vacations? Next you'll tell me you get holidays off too or something...๐ซ
Well it's either holidays off or double pay :3
