Met a French woman who gets 4 months off a year. 4 MONTHS!!! Apparently 2 months is the minimum in France. I will note she hates her job (some kind of auditing). I don't hate my job but at the same time the more I hear about many European countries vacation policies the more I question the USA's typical policies.
- datalist 11y agoThe minimum in France is 25 days = five weeks, like in many other European countries.
- greggman 11y agoWTF was this downvoted? What did I say that pissed people off so much they felt this was worth of a downvote? First off 7 French natives have told me the minimum is 2 months. 3 work at Nintendo of France and brought this up in relation to their Japanese co-workers in Japan. Even though Nintendo is a Japanese company it has to abide by French laws for it's office in Paris. 1 works at a Nuclear Power Plant. She's the one that gets 4 months off a year. Yes, she actually gets 4 months off paid vacation. This is not a lie. 3 others are currently working in Japan, 2 in Kyoto, 1 in Tokyo, not working for French companies, frustrated at the lack of vacation relative to France. They might have been wrong but that's what they believe. Second it doesn't matter if it's 40 days off a year or 25. That's still INFINITELY MORE THAN THE USA which is has a mandatory minimum of ZERO days off and still entirely makes the point that lots more vacation than is typical in the USA is at least something to be considered.
