> How the fuck does one TAKE A VACATION after your startup fails?! That's hilarious. But hey, you could technically do that in France without swimming in money: you legally can keep your position in a company on-hold while creating a startup, for 1-2 years (3 if you do tricks with your right to a sabbatical year). If it fails after that, you just go back to work. [0] The holidays you might have saved before leaving are deferred until you join again, so you can literally have paid holidays after your project fails.

Same in Sweden and some basic easy to get by programs apart from the more traditional grants. I'd still pick sf and infinite funding for every silly project but for the small business rather than startup it's pretty sweet.

No you can't. There are requirements that you are not displaying here, because you are using a source article in a language that probably 5% of the HN community can read. You are gaming the system and profit of social advantages offered by the nation for your personal interest. I hope people like you get caught and that you will pay every cent you owe.

Yeah, you need to be for at least 2 years in the company, and there are deadlines for requests, approvals and so on. Obviously you can't just say "hey, not coming tomorrow, plz keep my job for a while" overnight.

That's funny, because you don't get paid during those 1-2 years, so it roughly amounts to 0. Why do you accuse random strangers of violating a law that you seem not to be familiar with?
