I have:
14 fixed holidays.
31 vacation days.
35 hours workweek.
Summertime hours reduction (from 35 to 32 hours).
Fight for it, and force your countries and employers to apply those conditions, because I assure you, they are good.
lol these are my regular hours (webdev in Germany with a 4-day work week)
What's the name of your employer again?
Seriously, those are really good conditions, I'm glad you are aware of that.
I cheated a little. As I'm employed by a public organization of the Spanish government. But it's true that we achieved these conditions because we have massive Unions here in the public sector. We are currently threatening with a strike if the remove remote work (as they are threatening to remove it).
Nice, good luck with your fight, remote work is the future
I'm in the USA and I get 3 weeks paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, and 2 "personal days" which are also PTO, and more sick time than I am ever able to use up. I think I have over 200 hours of sick leave PTO accrued.
This is not a basic entry-level job though, it's after climbing the career ladder for years. It would be much nicer for our country's folks if everyone was allowed as much PTO by all jobs.
I only just this month "unlocked" my final week PTO after 7 years... 15 days PTO is the limit at my job :/
I'm sorry.
About what? I have a great life in the USA.
That you get so little vacation. I'm also in the US and I currently get 30 days of vacation, 10 holidays and 10 sick days. That's been pretty standard for me and I wouldn't take a job offering just 3 weeks (15 days) of vacation.
It's not so bad, I'm well paid and live comfortably. I was able to buy a house and land for my family to live in, in a nice safe area with clean air in the midst of forests with rivers, lakes, and state parks all nearby. We get to enjoy rural-ish life with city amenities in short driving distance.
