Move to the EU where 4 weeks vacation is the rule?
- vetinari 9y agoNot in one lump, though.
- Kurtz79 9y agoIt is definitely possible in some countries/companies. Using "EU" as a blanket term is misleading, as always.
- amyjess 9y agoCertainly in Sweden, where virtually the entire country takes off the month of July.
- funnyfacts365 9y agoOr France, in August...
- kk_cz 9y agoWhy not? It depends on your agreement with employer. In my previous work I had a colleague who used to vanish to Himalayas for at least a month every year.
- vetinari 9y agoAs you said, it depends on your agreement with the employer. It's not given by the law. By the same token, you can have 4 or more weeks of vacation in the US - if the employer agrees. In practice, most of the employees do not even ask for 4 weeks at one. Most of them want a week during Christmas, a week during winter for skying, a week in the summer, etc. In some cases, the company can make you to take mandatory vacation at the time when they need it, and of course it is taken out of your four weeks. Car makers, for example, often shut down the entire plant in the summer and everyone gets their vacation then. So the vacation time is not that clear-cut, not even in EU.
- ryanSrich 9y agoBut take 1/3 of the salary. Not worth it.
- chrisper 9y agoAre you only in for the salary?
- aisofteng 9y agoThose things exist here at good companies. I have five weeks off per year and I'm in the US.
